Real Madrid has confirmed that England full back Trent Alexander Arnold has picked up a thigh injury, raising fresh concern after his early exit from the club’s midweek league match. Spanish reports suggest he could be sidelined for up to two months, marking a difficult spell for the defender who only recently settled into life in Spain.
Alexander Arnold delivered his first league assist for Madrid in their three to zero victory over Athletic Bilbao, setting up the opening goal with the precision he is known for. His night, however, took a worrying turn when he was forced off during the second half after feeling discomfort in his left leg.
In a statement, the club confirmed that medical tests showed a muscle injury in the front part of his thigh. Although Madrid did not specify a return date, local media indicated that the twenty seven year old is expected to miss a significant stretch of the season.
The setback comes at a time when Alexander Arnold had begun to find rhythm with his new club, adding creativity from the right flank and contributing to their strong start. His recovery will now be closely monitored as Madrid look to manage their options in his absence.
