Real Madrid will be without several key players for their Champions League challenge against Liverpool next week. The likes of Dani Carvajal, Eder Militao and David Alaba are all confirmed absentees, while there are also doubts that Aurelien Tchouameni and Lucas Vazquez will be involved.
It's not just Real Madrid who are dealing with injury problems, as Liverpool also have them ahead of the match at Anfield. Diogo Jota and Federico Chiesa will definitely miss out, while coach Arne Slot has confirmed that there is uncertainty in the cases of Alisson Becker and Trent Alexander-Arnold (via AS Diary).
“We are careful with everyone, especially when it comes to muscle injuries. Alisson has returned to training with the goalkeeper coach, not yet with the team, but he is expected to do it soon. We will wait and see how fit he is for the match. It is still getting better but not ready to play on sunday.
“(Alexander-Arnold) hasn't trained with us yet, but he's better, so we hope he'll be back soon.
It would be a push for Real Madrid if it was Liverpool without Alisson and Alexander-Arnold, who are arguably two of the best players in the Premier League.
