Unofficially: Alexander-Arnold's injury details have been confirmed by Real; timeline remains undisclosed
Real Madrid's British defender Trent Alexander-Arnold is set to miss the start of the Champions League and several La Liga matches due to a left hamstring muscle injury. The injury, sustained during the Champions League match against Marseille on September 17, 2023, was officially announced by the club.
Alexander-Arnold, who joined Real Madrid from Liverpool, quickly secured a starting spot in the team. His departure from the field in the 5th minute of the match against Marseille came as a shock to both the team and the spectators. Medical examinations confirmed the diagnosis of a hamstring injury, and given the nature of the injury, Alexander-Arnold may be out for several weeks.
The injury has left a significant void in Real Madrid's team, as Alexander-Arnold's contributions to the team's attacks have been notable. His absence may shift focus to Dani Carvajal, who could see increased playing time during his recovery. In his absence, there may be possible rotations in Real Madrid's midfield.
Meanwhile, Alexander Golovin will also miss the start of the Champions League due to a thigh injury, adding to Real Madrid's defensive woes. No further information about Alexander-Arnold's injury recovery or the exact number of games he may miss is provided.
The recovery time for Alexander-Arnold will depend on the rehabilitation process, and the participation of both him and Golovin in the next Champions League round is uncertain. The injury has opened the door for potential newcomers, with reports suggesting that Isak could make his debut for Liverpool in the Champions League match against Atletico.
In other news, CNN Portugal reports that Mourinho is being considered by Benfica after Lage's departure, but the new coach of Real Madrid is Xabi Alonso, who is currently managing the team amid Trent Alexander-Arnold's injury with no recovery in sight.
