Trent Alexander-Arnold Faces Extended Absence Due to Hamstring Injury
Trent Alexander-Arnold is set to be sidelined for up to six weeks due to a hamstring injury sustained during Real Madrid's Champions League victory over Marseille.
The 26-year-old defender started the match at the Bernabeu on Tuesday but was forced to exit in the fifth minute after injuring his left leg.
Sources suggest that Alexander-Arnold will be unavailable for at least a month, with the possibility of his recovery extending to six weeks.
He joined Real Madrid on June 1, following an agreement with Liverpool to release him from his contract early.
Alexander-Arnold was not included in Thomas Tuchel's England squad for this month's World Cup qualifiers against Andorra and Serbia, raising doubts about his participation in next month's matches against Wales and Latvia.
This injury also puts his availability in jeopardy for Real's upcoming match against Liverpool on November 4, marking what would be his first return to Anfield since his transfer.
Since joining Real, Alexander-Arnold has made five appearances at the Club World Cup over the summer, contributing two assists, and has played five times across all competitions in the 2025-26 season.
