Real Madrid have officially confirmed that Trent Alexander-Arnold suffered a left hamstring injury during Tuesday’s Champions League win over Olympique de Marseille. The right-back limped off after just three minutes of his European debut for Los Blancos.

A club statement said, “After the tests carried out today on our player Trent Alexander-Arnold by Real Madrid’s Medical Services, he has been diagnosed with a muscle injury to the biceps femoris of his left leg. Pending evolution.”
While Real Madrid have not provided a recovery timeline, hamstring injuries of this type typically require around a month on the sidelines. Dani Carvajal is set to fill in at right-back, with potential rotation from Lucas Vázquez or even Fede Valverde to manage minutes.
Alexander-Arnold’s setback comes as Real Madrid prepare for a busy run of fixtures, starting with a La Liga trip to Girona this weekend before a Champions League meeting with Napoli next week.
