Obviously, it’s not been the ideal start for Trent Alexander-Arnold over at Real Madrid. “He’s had his injury problems, he’s just recently recovered and was on the bench for El Classico.“It does look like he will probably get more opportunities in the starting XI in the upcoming weeks with Dani Carvajal having knee surgery.“Liverpool are missing him, no doubt they’re missing his creativity, but I don’t think Alexander-Arnold is thinking about leaving Real Madrid any time soon.
