Real Madrid defender Trent Alexander-Arnold and midfielder Eduardo Camavinga have been added to the injury list after the match in Bilbao.
Idman.Biz reports that AS newspaper described the situation of both players as "two worrying cases". Trent, who started the match in the starting lineup, was remembered for his assist that set up the first goal, but was replaced by Raul Asensio in the 55th minute due to a problem with the quadriceps muscle in his left leg. This injury occurred just a week after his return from a biceps femoris injury in Liverpool, and on the other leg.
Alexander-Arnold had started in the starting lineup for the fourth time in a row in Xabi Alonso's team and was beginning to find stability on the right flank of the defense. However, this injury will stop him again and create another reason for the decrease in the total game minutes he participated in during the season. Also, Dani Carvajal's absence until 2026, who plays in the same position in the team, has virtually moved the competition in this position to the medical room. Carvajal has missed almost all games in the last year due to a severe "triad", while Trent has only been on the field in 7 of 20 matches with Real Madrid.
Just ten minutes after Trent's departure, in the 67th minute, Eduardo Camavinga also left the game prematurely after suffering a left ankle injury as a result of Berenguer's intervention. The French midfielder had just returned from a right ankle injury in September, which caused him to miss six consecutive matches.
Camavinga's departure caused Arda Güler to enter the field sooner than expected. It is highly likely that Güler or Ceballos will get more chances in the next matches.
Real Madrid will play two difficult matches in a row. There are matches against Celta on December 7 and Manchester City on December 10.
