Why Trent Alexander-Arnold was absent for Real Madrid vs PSG

Real Madrid summer signing Trent Alexander-Arnold played no part in the club’s meeting with Paris Saint-Germain owing to a fitness setback in training.

Xabi Alonso’s troops of course marked their return to action late on Wednesday night.

With a place in the finale of the Club World Cup on the line, Real Madrid locked horns with Champions League holders Paris Saint-Germain.

And when all was said and done, Los Blancos were shown just how far off the very best in Europe they are at present.

This came courtesy of a 4-0 drubbing, an aptly disappointing end to what was an underwhelming campaign all told for Real in 2024/25.

Forced to watch on from the stands as his teammates were put to the sword in New Jersey, as alluded to above, was Trent Alexander-Arnold.

The England international was a late scratch from Xabi Alonso’s squad to face PSG, after suffering what has since been described as a ‘setback’ in training this week.
