"Real Madrid defender Trent Alexander-Arnold will today undergo further testing on the thigh injury that forced him off against Athletic Bilbao last night. The full-back limped out of the 3-0 win at San Mames after 53 minutes, seemingly injuring himself in the act of making a long pass to Kylian Mbappe. It is another blow for Alexander-Arnold, who was midway through his best performance in a Madrid shirt before the injury struck."
"To make matters more frustrating for player and club, Madrid are currently without Dani Carvajal, denying Alexander-Arnold the chance to make the right-back berth his own. Raul Asencio filled in last night and he could continue in that role for the weekend game with Celta Vigo, or Alonso may turn to midfielder Federico Valverde and ask the Uruguay international to move into a defensive role."
"Today is today, it's important. The performance of the team, the collective quality of the team, how we have controlled the game, with a lot of stability. I'll keep that. Let's go game by game. We knew it was an important moment and we can already think about Celta. The calendar is very demanding and does not allow too many turns, neither in good times nor in bad."
Trent Alexander-Arnold will undergo further testing on a thigh injury sustained after 53 minutes of Real Madrid's 3-0 win at San Mames, appearing to hurt himself while making a long pass to Kylian Mbappe. He had been delivering one of his best displays for the club and was instrumental in the opening two goals. Alexander-Arnold previously missed six weeks with a hamstring problem. Dani Carvajal remains unavailable, forcing Raul Asencio to fill the right-back role and leaving Federico Valverde as a possible defensive option. Eduardo Camavinga also sustained an ankle injury and will be assessed. Madrid moved within a point of Barcelona.
