Trent Alexander-Arnold suffers premature setback in the Spanish giants Champions League fixture

The right-back departing the field early
Alexander-Arnold exited the match after just five minutes

His first UCL game for Real Madrid ended prematurely as he sustained an problem just minutes into the clash against the French side

Alexander-Arnold, who joined Real Madrid from his former club at the end of last term, was picked to start at full-back ahead of Dani Carvajal

Yet, the player felt a twinge with what seemed to be a thigh strain while chasing for the ball

He immediately sat down and signaled to the dugout before being taken off by Dani Carvajal in the early stages

Considering the severity of the issue, the Three Lions player could be unavailable for a return to his former home, with Real Madrid scheduled to face the Reds in the Champions League on early November

This marked another disappointment for the defender, who had started in merely two of the team's four La Liga games this term and was excluded from the national team for last month's qualifying matches
