Former Liverpool defender Trent Alexander-Arnold has suffered another major setback in his first season with Real Madrid after the Spanish side confirmed he has sustained an injury. "Following tests carried out today on our player, Trent Alexander-Arnold, by the Real Madrid Medical Services, he has been diagnosed with a muscle injury in the rectus femoris of his left quadriceps.

This is already the second injury that he has sustained, while he was jeered on a losing return to Anfield. "His quality at set pieces is masked by his right foot, but in open play he is non-existent." Arne Slot, head coach of Liverpool (Image: Justin Setterfield/Getty Images)) Alexander-Arnold opted to leave Liverpool at the end of last season after he had won the Premier League title with the Reds.

He hasn't said anything about it himself," Slot said. "The only thing he has said that he will leave the club, so it is impossible to comment on where he is going and if that is a club that will play in the Club World Cup.
