Real Madrid defender Denzel Dumfries is determined to continue fighting for his place in the team amid reports that he wants to regain manager Jose Mourinho’s confidence.

According to Diario AS, the 30-year-old’s plan is to return to his best form and earn greater trust from Mourinho. Dumfries has featured only twice in Real Madrid’s past five La Liga matches.

The Netherlands international joined Real Madrid last summer. He has played 11 matches in all competitions for the club, providing one assist.

Real Madrid will host Celta on 21 November in the 13th round of the Spanish championship. Kick-off is at 23:00 Moscow time.
