"Real Madrid have confirmed that Trent Alexander-Arnold suffered a hamstring injury during Tuesday night's Champions League opener against Marseille, adding an early setback to the 26-year-old's spell in Spain. The former Liverpool full-back lasted just five minutes at the Santiago Bernabeu before pulling up and being forced off in visible discomfort. His replacement, club captain Dani Carvajal, would later be sent off in a dramatic match that still ended in a 2-1 comeback victory for Xabi Alonso's side."
"Following tests carried out today by the Real Madrid medical services on our player, Trent Alexander-Arnold, he has been diagnosed with a muscle injury to the biceps femoris in his left leg. Further updates will follow. Alexander-Arnold could be sidelined for up to eight weeks, potentially missing several important La Liga fixtures and key Champions League group-stage ties. This timeline would mean the England international may not return until late November, depending on the speed of his recovery."
