Trent Alexander-Arnold will be available and could be in the group for the game vs. Juventus after resuming training with his teammates. At the same time, Real Madrid’s head coach is still unsure about the condition of Dani Carvajal and Dean Huijsen before the upcoming El Clásico at the end of the weekend.
Los Blancos received positive news as Trent trained alongside his teammates, and that means that he could even be in the squad for the upcoming match of the team in the Champions League. Alexander-Arnold was sidelined in the last 6 games because of an injury and was also not called by Thomas Tuchel in England.

However, Xabi Alonso is expected not to take any risks with the English player after he was out for a month, and most likely he will be used from the bench in his first games back from injury. Trent’s return is very positive news for the Royal club, as their biggest problems since the beginning of the season were in defense, and a lot of the players were missing for one reason or another.
