Alexander-Arnold sustains early injury in Los Blancos Champions League match

Trent Alexander-Arnold leaving the field early
He exited the match after just five minutes

His first European match for the Spanish club concluded abruptly as he suffered an problem just three minutes into the match against their opponents

The 26-year-old, who signed for Real Madrid from the Reds after last campaign, was chosen to feature at full-back instead of his teammate

But, Alexander-Arnold felt a twinge with what seemed to be a hamstring problem while chasing for the ball

Alexander-Arnold immediately sat down and gestured to the bench before being substituted by Dani Carvajal in the early stages

Depending on the extent of the issue, the Three Lions player could be ruled out of a comeback to his former home, with Los Blancos set to meet his old club in the UCL on early November

It was a further disappointment for the defender, who had played in just a couple of Los Blancos' first four Spanish league fixtures this campaign and was left out from the national team for recent international qualifiers
