The 26 -year -old fights for his place alongside Captain Dani Carvajal, but will now have to be absent from the field for a short period in Santiago Bernabéu.
Alexander-Arnold's gestures seemed to indicate an injury to the hamstrings, and it was replaced after four minutes of play. Coach Xabi Alonso said that the injury was not as serious as initially dreaded, but that Alexander-Arnold should be absent for a long time.
Initially, Diario As announced an absence of only three weeks for Alexander-Arnold, but updated his report to comply with that of Marca, who indicates that the English international will be absent from six to eight weeks due to a tear of the hamstrings. It is a grade 2 or 3 tear. This means that Alexander-Arnold will probably be absent at least until November, even to the international break in the middle of the month.
Trent Alexander-Arnold will be absent for a while.
What Alexander-Arnold games will he miss?
It seems likely that Alexander-Arnold will miss at least eight games by the end of October. The main matches he will be absent are the Madrid derby against Atlético de Madrid and the Clasico at home against Barcelona. These eight meetings are as follows: Espanyol (at home), Levante (outside), Atlético de Madrid (outside), Kairat Almaty (outside), Villarreal (at home), Getafe (outside), Juventus (at home) and Barcelona (at home).
The 26 -year -old will then have to fight to be back for the moving of the Merengues to his childhood club, Liverpool, in Anfield on November 4. It might be the best possible scenario, but he may miss Valence (D) the previous weekend and Rayo Vallecano (A) the following weekend.
