Real Madrid’s right-back Trent Alexander-Arnold sustained an injury last night in their Champions League 2025/26 opener game against Marseille. The defender was out of the pitch in just 5 minutes after he felt something in his left hamstring. According to Fabrizio, the right-back will undergo scans and few tests to find out the real issue.
Real Madrid suffered an early setback in their UEFA Champions League 2025/26 campaign as star right-back Trent Alexander-Arnold was forced off just five minutes into their opening clash against Marseille on Tuesday night.
The England international pulled up clutching his left hamstring and was immediately substituted, leaving Madrid boss Xabi Alonso with an unexpected defensive reshuffle so early in the game.
According to transfer expert Fabrizio Romano, Alexander-Arnold will undergo scans and further medical tests to determine the extent of the injury. The club and fans alike will be hoping it is nothing serious, with the 26-year-old considered a key part of Madrid’s plans this season.
Real Madrid face a congested fixture list in both La Liga and Europe, and losing their marquee summer signing for a prolonged period would be a major blow to their ambitions.
