Trent Alexander-Arnold’s expression said it all when he was forced to leave the pitch at San Mamés during Real Madrid’s 3-0 victory. The following day, the medical report confirmed the worst: he will be sidelined for two months. This means Trent will not return to full activity until next year, a setback that once again interrupts his rhythm and development in his first season as a Real Madrid player.

Feeling frustrated by his desire to perform and the limitations of the injury, he shared a message on social media that reflects both his current disappointment and a spark of optimism. His post read:
“Absolutely devastated by this. This moment hurts, but I am going to work hard to come back stronger and better. See you in 2026, Madridistas.”

Reactions to Trent’s message came quickly. One of the first to respond was his close friend Jude Bellingham, who encouraged him with a “come back stronger, brother.” Several other Real Madrid teammates also wished him a speedy recovery, including Vinicius Junior, Fran García and Endrick, among many others.
