Real Madrid have announced that Trent Alexander-Arnold has sustained a muscular injury during their recent victory over Athletic Bilbao. This injury marks yet another challenge for the England international, who has faced a series of setbacks since his transfer from Liverpool. A statement from the club confirmed, "Following tests carried out today by the Real Madrid Medical Services on our player, Trent Alexander-Arnold, he has been diagnosed with a muscular injury to the rectus anterior quadriceps in his left leg. His progress will be monitored." Reports from Spain suggest that the 26-year-old defender could be out of action for approximately two months due to this latest issue. Alexander-Arnold's injury is particularly disappointing as he has struggled to secure a regular spot in Xabi Alonso's starting lineup. Earlier in the season, a hamstring injury sidelined him for seven matches, further complicating his integration into the team. Despite his contributions, including a notable assist in the recent match against Bilbao, Alexander-Arnold's performance has faced scrutiny from Spanish media. His signing has been questioned by some, reflecting the challenges he has encountered since moving to the Bernabeu this summer. As Real Madrid prepares for upcoming fixtures, the club will closely monitor Alexander-Arnold's recovery and fitness levels, hoping for a swift return to the pitch for the talented right-back.
