The English full-back felt pain during the match against Athletic Bilbao in La Liga. After a detailed evaluation, the club announced that the player will continue under treatment and monitoring, with no official return date.

The expectation, however, is that Alexander-Arnold will only return to play in 2026, since this type of injury usually requires a prolonged and progressive recovery. His absence represents a major blow for the club in the 2025/26 season competitions.

Since arriving in Spanish football, Alexander-Arnold has played 16 matches for Real Madrid, with 3 assists but no goals scored.
