Liverpool's prince struggles to adapt at Real Madrid; Arnold suffers a left quadriceps rectus femoris strain, sidelined until February.

Injuries remain a player's greatest challenge. Arnold maintained a strong attendance record at Liverpool, yet since moving to Real Madrid this season, his injury frequency has risen significantly. During this week's La Liga fixture, Real Madrid won 3-0 away against Athletic Bilbao, breaking a three-game winless streak. Arnold linked up with Mbappé, delivering an assist styled like a "dog catching a frisbee" before exiting the match injured. Real Madrid has officially announced that Arnold issuffering from a left quadriceps rectus femoris muscle injury.strained. According to Spanish media follow-ups, Arnold is expected to be out for at least two months.

Arnold’s injury impacts Real Madrid captain Valverde the most, as both of the club’s right-backs are sidelined. Carvajal underwent arthroscopic surgery in late October and is projected to miss 2-3 months, with about one month still needed for recovery.

With both Arnold and Carvajal injured, and Vasquez performing poorly as a right-back, Valverde will have to frequently fill in at right-back again. This is something Valverde is reluctant about and represents the difficult choice Alonso and Real Madrid have had to make.

Fans have joked that Valverde is having a tough time and suggested letting Asensio play right-back or switching the team to a three-defender formation. What’s your take on this? Does Real Madrid need to sign a new right-back in the winter transfer window?
