Real Madrid star to miss Almaty clash against Kairat

Tengrinews.kz – Real Madrid and England defender Trent Alexander-Arnold will not travel to Almaty for the Champions League match against Kairat.

The club’s press service confirmed that the player suffered a hamstring injury in his left leg after leaving the field in the fifth minute of the game against Marseille. Spanish journalist Arancha Rodríguez later reported that his recovery is expected to take between five and eight weeks.

This rules Alexander-Arnold out of the September 30 fixture against Kairat at Central Stadium in Almaty.

Adding to Madrid’s defensive woes, Dani Carvajal is also unavailable for the match due to a red card suspension.

Who could play against Kairat

Despite the absences, other Real Madrid stars remain available, including Kylian Mbappé, Vinícius Júnior, and Jude Bellingham, who are all registered for the Champions League season. However, their participation in the Almaty match will depend on the coach’s decision.
