Trent Alexander-Arnold sustains early setback in Los Blancos Champions League fixture
Trent Alexander-Arnold's maiden UCL match for Los Blancos finished prematurely as he sustained an issue just three minutes into the match against Marseille
The Englishman, who signed for Real Madrid from Liverpool following last term, was picked to start at full-back instead of the Spanish defender
Yet, the player experienced discomfort with what seemed to be a muscle strain while chasing for the ball
He promptly dropped and indicated to the bench before being replaced by the substitute in the opening moments
Considering the gravity of the setback, the Three Lions full-back could miss a return to Anfield, with Los Blancos due to play his old club in the European competition on early November
This represented a further blow for the defender, who had started in merely a pair of the team's four domestic fixtures this campaign and was left out from the international side for September's qualifying matches
