The England international has started three of Madrid's five games in all competitions so far this season, with Carvajal preferred in the other two.

"It's a really good competition [between the two players]," coach Xabi Alonso said last month.

It's really good for the squad."

Alexander-Arnold's England teammate Jude Bellingham returned to the Madrid squad for the Marseille game for the first time this season, after undergoing shoulder surgery in July.
