His maiden UCL appearance for Los Blancos ended abruptly as he picked up an issue only a few moments into the clash against the French side
Alexander-Arnold, who moved to the Spanish giants from his former club following last campaign, was picked to begin at right-back over the Spanish defender
But, he felt a twinge with what appeared to be a thigh injury while running for the ball
The defender quickly sat down and indicated to the bench before being substituted by Dani Carvajal in the fifth minute
Based on the severity of the issue, the Three Lions full-back could be ruled out of a comeback to Anfield, with Los Blancos scheduled to face his old club in the UCL on early November
This represented a further disappointment for the defender, who had started in only two of the team's initial La Liga games this campaign and was excluded from the England squad for September's qualifying matches
