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.<\/p>\n
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.<\/p>\n
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\u2019s plans this season.<\/p>\n
