<p>According to transfer guru <a href="https://x.com/FabrizioRomano/status/1943000839444140197" target="_blank"><em>Fabrizio Romano</em></a>, Alexander-Arnold has missed out on the game "due to [a] setback in training", with Fede Valverde starting at right-back in his place. The exact nature of the injury is unknown at this time.</p>

WHAT HAPPENED?

<p>The former Liverpool star had a <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/guaranteed-success-real-madrid-told-calm-down-over-trent-alexander-arnold-disappointing-debut-blame-blazing-hot-sun/blt6cd2ee3d400e9ab7" target="_blank">difficult debut for Madrid</a> earlier in the competition, failing to make a huge impact during a 1-1 draw with Al-Hilal in the scorching Miami sun. He later helped steer his team into the quarter-finals of the Club World Cup with an <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/real-madrid-player-ratings-vs-juventus-trent-alexander-arnold-gonzalo-garcia/bltb3bb9b6ce13265da" target="_blank">assist against Juventus</a>, but it's since been rumoured that he is still <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/news/trent-alexander-arnold-controversial-call-cost-real-madrid-starting-spot-ex-liverpool-star-not-favourite-right-back-berth/blt619321d43a2e99a7" target="_blank">not a "favourite"</a> to start for the club. This injury is just the latest in a string of small setbacks.</p><div data-name="DAZN" class="affiliate-button-container theme-1"><div class="affiliate-button"><img height="40" width="72" src="https://eu-images.contentstack.com/v3/assets/bltcc7a7ffd2fbf71f5/blt2a657c326f3152f3/65709dfdfcc91a04075bd960/DAZN.png" class="logo" style="width: 72px; height: 40px;"><span class="affiliate-text">Watch every FIFA Club World Cup game free on DAZN</span></div><a href="https://prf.hn/click/camref:1100lfsPh/destination:https://www.dazn.com/welcome/fifa-club-world-cup" target="_blank" class="affiliate-button-link">Stream now</a></div>

THE BIGGER PICTURE

<p>Alexander-Arnold caused a splash last month when it was revealed he had been secretly learning the Spanish language in preparation for his long-awaited move to Los Blancos, telling reporters: "For me, it was important to be able to do that and it shows that the intent I have got is to come here and have a good start, to get off on the right foot and to achieve something." The 26-year-old has <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/trent-alexander-arnold-soaks-up-move-real-madrid-official-unveiling-spanish-capital/blt3e0dec8e639855e8#cs1cf97733c96959b7" target="_blank">thrown himself into life in Madrid</a> and is committed to making the move work, even if he has to initially fight for his place in the team.</p>

DID YOU KNOW?

<p>The exact details of Alexander-Arnold's training ground setback remain shrouded in mystery, but it's been suggested that the England international is <a href="https://www.si.com/soccer/why-trent-alexander-arnold-isn-t-playing-for-real-madrid-vs-psg#:~:text=The%20England%20international%20is%20not,discomfort%20in%20his%20right%20leg." target="_blank">suffering </a>from muscle discomfort in his right leg. If it's only a minor knock, and should Madrid find a way past PSG, there's still a chance he could feature in the final against Chelsea.</p>
