Trent Alexander-Arnold is expected to miss up to six weeks with a hamstring injury sustained in Real Madrid’s Champions League win over Marseille.
Alexander-Arnold, 26, started Tuesday’s match at the Bernabeu but was forced off in the fifth minute having injured his left leg.
Sources have indicated Alexander-Arnold will be out for at least a month, with his absence potentially running to six weeks.
Alexander-Arnold joined Real on 1 June after Liverpool accepted a fee to release the defender early from his contract.
The full-back was not named in Thomas Tuchel’s England squad for this month’s World Cup qualifiers against Andorra and Serbia, and is now a major doubt for next month’s games against Wales and Latvia.
It also leaves him in a race against time to be fit for Real’s visit to Liverpool on 4 November, which would be Alexander-Arnold’s first return to Anfield since his move.
Alexander-Arnold made five appearances for Real at the Club World Cup over the summer – providing two assists – and has featured five times across all competitions in 2025-26.
