It was an intense match ahead.
Just minutes into the game against Marseille, Real Madrid defender Trent Alexander-Arnold suffered an injury. Although head coach Xabi Alonso was careful with his initial comments, the situation is serious.
Details: Reports from The Athletic indicate that the English player has a hamstring injury that may keep him out for 6-8 weeks. This means Trent will not be available for the October international matches with England and will also miss important matches against Juventus on October 22 and Liverpool at Anfield on November 4.
The team’s Champions League efforts are further challenged by the absence of Dani Carvajal, who will be suspended for those matches after receiving a red card in the game against Marseille.
Reminder: Trent left the field in the match against Marseille in the fifth minute after collapsing. He was replaced by Carvajal, who played for about an hour before being sent off in the 72nd minute.
