Real Madrid fans can finally breathe! England’s very own Trent Alexander-Arnold is reportedly on the verge of making his comeback — and it couldn’t have come at a better time. The right-back, who has been out for weeks due to injury, has resumed full training and could feature in Madrid’s Champions League clash against Juventus.
According to reports from AS, Trent completed most of Madrid’s group training session without discomfort, which has everyone at the Bernabéu buzzing with excitement. While head coach Xabi Alonso is expected to be cautious, there’s growing belief that Trent could make the traveling squad if he clears one more fitness test.
This would be his first appearance in over a month, and Madrid fans can already imagine his trademark deep passes and midfield rotations lighting up the pitch again.
Just when things seem to be falling in place, Los Blancos still have a few worries. Dani Carvajal and Dean Huijsen remain major doubts ahead of El Clasico against Barcelona. Both players are yet to resume full training, with Carvajal struggling with muscle discomfort and Huijsen recovering from a previous knock.
Alonso’s plan? Keep a close eye on both players while praying for some good news from the medical team. If neither of them makes it, Madrid could be forced to improvise — possibly shifting Federico Valverde into defence or even fast-tracking Trent into back-to-back high-intensity games. Risky? Definitely. But that’s football!
It’s not all sunshine in Madrid’s camp. Antonio Rudiger has officially been ruled out of El Clasico, while David Alaba is still being monitored after picking up discomfort against Getafe. This leaves Alonso juggling his limited defensive options, with Aurelien Tchouameni potentially covering at centre-back again (and doing a solid job, to be fair).
On the brighter side, Ferland Mendy has returned to full training and could start against Juventus, freeing up Eduardo Camavinga to return to midfield duties.
With a packed schedule and Barcelona waiting to pounce, Alonso must balance risk and reward perfectly in the coming days.
Trent Alexander-Arnold’s return doesn’t just add defensive stability — it brings back Madrid’s creative rhythm. His playmaking from deep, overlapping runs, and ability to drift into midfield give Madrid that extra flair they’ve missed in recent weeks.
Fans can expect a cautious reintroduction, perhaps from the bench against Juventus, but once Trent gets going — you can be sure Real Madrid’s attack will have a new dimension.
And with El Clasico just around the corner, all eyes will be on Xabi Alonso’s selections. Will he risk Trent early or save him for the big showdown? Whatever the decision, Madrid’s fans will be watching — and so will we!
Real Madrid’s upcoming week is make-or-break — Juventus in the Champions League, and then Barcelona in El Clasico. Trent’s return could not only stabilize the defence but reignite Madrid’s title charge.
