Trent Alexander-Arnold is on the sidelines after suffering a hamstring injury during Real Madrid's recent Champions League clash against Marseille.

The 26-year-old defender, who made his debut for Los Blancos earlier this season, limped off just five minutes into the match at the iconic Bernabeu.

Medical tests conducted by the club have confirmed the injury, with sources revealing that Alexander-Arnold could be out for a minimum of a month, potentially extending to six weeks.

This unfortunate setback casts a shadow over his international prospects, as he was already omitted from Thomas Tuchel's England squad for upcoming World Cup qualifiers against Andorra and Serbia. Now, he jeopardizes his chances for key matches against Wales and Latvia next month.

Moreover, this injury raises concerns about his availability for Real Madrid’s anticipated trip to Liverpool on November 4th—a highly awaited return to Anfield following his move.

Since joining Real on June 1st after leaving Liverpool, where he had built a legendary status, Alexander-Arnold showcased his skills during the summer's Club World Cup, contributing with two assists in five appearances. However, with this injury now looming, fans and teammates alike are left hoping for a swift recovery.
