Trent Alexander-Arnold Injured: Real Announced His Absence Period.

Injury of Trent Alexander-Arnold

According to The Sun: The club Real Madrid provided updated information about Trent Alexander-Arnold's injury.

The English defender joined 'Real' this summer after finishing his contract with 'Liverpool'.

The 26-year-old footballer will now have to say goodbye to playing following a leg muscle injury.

The injury occurred just five minutes after the start of the victorious Champions League match against Marseille.

The club's statement says:

“After tests conducted by Real's medical services, our player Trent Alexander-Arnold has been diagnosed with a muscle injury of the biceps in his left leg.”

“Further updates will be provided.”

The team managed to win the match 2:1 at the Santiago Bernabeu stadium, despite Timothy Weah putting the French team ahead.

Kylian Mbappe equalized from a penalty, then scored another goal from the spot nine minutes before the end, securing Xavi Alonso his first Champions League victory as Real's head coach.

The injury may keep Alexander-Arnold out of games for a period of six to eight weeks.

This means he will likely miss the Madrid derby against Atletico, which will take place on September 27.

There is also a risk that he won't play in El Clasico on October 26, and in the worst-case scenario, will miss the Champions League match at Anfield against Liverpool.

Alonso's Comments

Speaking in the evening, Alonso expressed confidence that the defender will definitely miss the weekend match against Espanyol.

He noted:

“We need to be creative in finding solutions.”

“[Raul] Asensio performed well.”

“[Eduardo] Camavinga and Jude [Bellingham] are ready to play on Saturday.”

This is bad news for the 'Reds', as the former club player has been struggling on the field since his move to Spain.
