Overview
- An official club report says Trent Alexander-Arnold has a left biceps femoris muscle lesion.
- Alexander-Arnold was forced off after about five minutes in the 2-1 Champions League win over Marseille and was replaced by Dani Carvajal, who was later sent off in the 72nd minute.
- Press reporting estimates a six-to-eight-week absence, which would likely rule him out of the Atletico derby on September 27, the October 22 match against Juventus, and the October 26 Clasico.
- Outlets outline provisional return windows that include Valencia on November 1-2, a Champions League trip to Anfield on November 4, or after the mid-November international break against Elche, pending medical assessments.
- The club indicates further updates will follow, with the immediate selection squeeze at right-back heightened by Carvajal’s red card.
