"Alexander-Arnold was delivering one of his best performances in a Madrid shirt to date -- his cross-field pass setting up Kylian Mbappé's opening goal -- when he was withdrawn in the 55th minute of the 3-0 victory at San Mamés, and replaced by substitute Raúl Asencio. The right-back appeared to suffer a muscular problem after kicking the ball upfield, limping on the sidelines before asking to be withdrawn."
"Alexander-Arnold's debut season at the Bernabéu -- after joining from Liverpool in a high-profile move last summer -- has already been heavily disrupted by injuries. Having earned his place in the Madrid starting XI in the Club World Cup, he picked up a thigh problem in September, and was absent for a month. His absence came with Dani Carvajal also unavailable, meaning midfielder Federico Valverde had to fill in at right-back."
Trent Alexander-Arnold exited Real Madrid's 3-0 LaLiga victory at Athletic Club with a suspected muscular problem and will undergo tests to determine the severity. He set up Kylian Mbappé's opening goal with a cross-field pass before being withdrawn in the 55th minute and replaced by Raúl Asencio. The right-back limped after kicking the ball upfield and requested substitution. Eduardo Camavinga was also substituted with an ankle issue that appears less serious. Alexander-Arnold's debut season at the Bernabéu has been disrupted by injuries, including a thigh problem in September that caused a month-long absence.
