Trent Alexander-Arnold has shared a new update on social media as he nears a return from injury at Real Madrid.

The former Reds star has been out with a rectus femoris of his left quadriceps since December and is yet to feature under new manager Alvaro Arbeloa. The right-back is expected back next month and has returned to training with Real.

Spanish outlets suggested Arbeloa has spoken with Alexander‑Arnold to make clear that he isn't part of his long‑term plans but those claims have been dismissed.

The right‑back has only been in Madrid for half a season, yet the move has fallen short of his expectations.

Alexander‑Arnold's choice to leave his boyhood club for a fresh challenge with Real ahead of the 2025/26 campaign proved to be a highly controversial one.
