Marca: Arnold s injury is not optimistic, and he will also miss Real Madrid s 4-week game under ideal circumstances

Hupu September 17th In the first round of the Champions League ending in the early morning of this morning, Real Madrid defeated Marseille 2-1 at home, achieving a good start to the new season of the Champions League. However, in this game, Real Madrid defender Arnold left the field due to injury 3 minutes after starting in this game, and Spanish media "Marca" also updated the situation of the England defender.

It is reported that in this game against Marseille, Real Madrid coach Xavi Alonso made an adjustment to the previous game: right-back Arnold started. The English player started the Champions League journey as a starter and gained a little advantage in the competition with Carvajal, but the joy did not last long - just three minutes into the game, he suddenly reached out and pressed his back and fell to the ground in pain. The injury is clear and cannot persist. Kavajal warmed up on the sidelines for a moment and then hurriedly made a substitute.

Marca said that Arnold needs to undergo detailed examinations in the next few days, but his physical reaction at the moment of injury indicates that it is not optimistic. This typical sudden pain and injury usually means that the player needs at least four weeks of recovery – which is still in the best estimate. For Real Madrid, which is about to usher in the devil's schedule, Alonso's deployment of troops has undoubtedly suffered a heavy blow: the White Army needs to deal with 6 fierce battles within 18 days (including the Champions League against Marseille).

After the game, regarding Arnold's injury, Real Madrid coach Alonso also said at the press conference: "We have to wait a little longer, it may not be as serious as it seems... We must be creative when looking for solutions. Asensio performed well after playing. Camavenga and Zude (Berlingham) are about to return. They can play on Saturday."

It is worth noting that Arnold did not report to the national team on the previous international match day, and the league against Real Sociedad last Saturday was not on the starting list, so muscle fatigue is not the cause of this injury.
