Last-Minute Blow for Real Madrid: Alexander-Arnold Doubtful for PSG Clash

Real Madrid faces a potential setback ahead of their Club World Cup 2025 semifinal against Paris Saint-Germain, as key signing Trent Alexander-Arnold is doubtful for the match due to a physical issue.

The English right-back suffered the problem during Tuesday's training session in Palm Beach, just one day before the crucial game. While no official medical report has been released, initial reports indicate his availability is uncertain, and he may be excluded from the starting lineup or miss the match entirely depending on his condition in the hours leading up to kick-off. The coaching staff is closely monitoring his status.

Alexander-Arnold's potential absence would represent a significant tactical blow for manager Xabi Alonso, who has heavily relied on the full-back's vision, passing range, and attacking contribution. If ruled out, Alonso would likely need to reconfigure the defense, with Dani Carvajal emerging as the probable replacement at right-back for the high-stakes semifinal.
