Trent Alexander-Arnold may return to Real Madrid's team for their Champions League matchup against Juventus at the Bernabeu on Wednesday.

Due to a hamstring injury he suffered in mid-September, the England international has missed Real Madrid's last six games in all competitions.

Although there were concerns at the time that he would miss up to two months of action, the former Liverpool right-back has recovered very well.

The possibility that Alexander-Arnold could play against Juventus was bolstered by his ability to participate in the opening portion of Real Madrid's training session on Monday.

Journalist Carlos Rodriguez claims that there is a good probability the summer arrival will play a few minutes against Juventus in order to start this weekend's La Liga match versus Barcelona.

Juventus vs. Real Madrid: Alexander-Arnold might make a comeback in the Champions League match
Despite arriving prior to the 2025 Club World Cup, Alexander-Arnold has made 10 appearances for Real Madrid and contributed two assists. However, five of those games occurred during the competition.

Although the defender has made four appearances in La Liga this season and one in the Champions League, it is safe to conclude that the Englishman has not yet found his calling at Los Blancos.

Ferland Mendy, a Frenchman who has missed the first few months of the 2025–26 season due to a thigh issue, is also back in training with Real Madrid.

Antonio Rudiger is still a long-term absence for Los Blancos, but Dani Carvajal and Dean Huijsen may return to the team for this weekend's La Liga match against Barcelona.

Who else is injured for Real Madrid right now?


David Alaba was substituted during the team's most recent league game, and Dani Ceballos was unable to play against Getafe on Sunday because of a muscle injury he suffered during the international break.

Due to a calf issue, Alaba did not train on Monday. It is generally anticipated that the Austrian will not play against Juventus, but Ceballos may return to the team.

Real Madrid's top goalie, Thibaut Courtois, is healthy for the match against Juventus despite taking a knock against Getafe. The Blancos are hoping to win three straight Champions League games this year.

DISCIPLINARY BLOW: MADRID PLAYER SUSPENDED POST EL CLáSICO TUSSLE

Real Madrid's backup keeper Andriy Lunin has been handed a one-game suspension by the RFEF for his aggressive conduct on the bench during the heated final moments of El Clásico. Real Madrid's appeal was rejected.

Los Blancos' goalie Andriy Lunin has been suspended for one game by the RFEF Disciplinary Committee for his involvement in the sideline dramas during the El Clásico's final moments. Although the cameras did not catch it, referee Soto Grado did record that he had sent the Ukrainian off.

According to Mundo Deportivo, the RFEF responded as follows when asked why Lunin received a red card.

The reason for Lunin, Andrii's expulsion in the 90th minute was that he had to be restrained by his teammates after he walked aggressively from his bench to the blonde bench.

"When considered significant, those whose behaviour violates sporting order will be suspended for four to ten games or fined between 602 and 3,006 euros."

Because of Lunin's actions, which constituted a minor violation of the sporting order, he was suspended for one game. The ruling had been challenged by Real Madrid. However, the RFEF stayed steadfast, defending the referee's ruling and the evidence in the match report and on film.

Now, the backup goalie will not play against Valencia this weekend, where he is probably going to be benched. Fran Gonzalez and Sunico, both from the youth team, might be called up as the matchday squad's third choice, with Sergio Mestre serving as a backup.

No Barcelona players or any other Real Madrid players were slapped with bans following the two flash moments in the closing stages of the game. When Vinicius Jr. and Lamie Yamal argued, even players who were not on the team were spotted shoving on the side of the field. The RFEF, however, determined that nothing that came to pass would justify further prohibitions.

According to Bukayo Saka, it is feasible for Arsenal and England to win both games this season. The season has started well for the Gunners under Mikel Arteta's leadership.

Arsenal leads the Premier League standings by four points at the moment and is starting to look like a title contender. Manchester City is only one point ahead of defending champions Liverpool, who are seven points behind.

Saka, however, is not only interested in winning at his club; he also hopes to succeed internationally. Manager Thomas Tuchel has stated that winning the trophy is his ambition for England, who have qualified for the World Cup in the USA next year.

Saka is optimistic about his club's and his nation's chances of winning. "Yeah, that is my prayer," he remarked in an interview with Sky Sports. It is possible, of course.
