Real Madrid has confirmed that England defender Trent Alexander-Arnold sustained a rectus femoris injury during the La Liga match against Athletic Bilbao, which ended in a 3-0 victory. Reports suggest he could be out for up to two months.
The 27-year-old, who provided his first La Liga assist for Real Madrid, left the game early in the second half due to discomfort. This injury may cause him to miss up to 13 matches, including key Champions League fixtures against Manchester City, Monaco, and Benfica.
This is Alexander-Arnold’s second muscle-related injury since joining Real Madrid from Liverpool, having previously been sidelined for weeks due to a hamstring strain.
