A Spanish press report stated that English international Trent Alexander-Arnold aims to appear in the starting lineup for his team during the match against Elche next Sunday, as part of the 13th round of the Spanish league at the Manuel Martínez Valero Stadium.

According to the Spanish newspaper "Marca," all indicators confirm that Arnold is close to returning as a starter after being absent for a long period due to injury and incomplete physical readiness.

Although he returned to training weeks ago, he did not participate in the El Clásico against Barcelona, nor did he play in the match against Valencia, before getting limited minutes against Liverpool and Rayo Vallecano.

With Dani Carvajal injured and Federico Valverde's physical condition unclear, Arnold's chances of entering the starting lineup during the Elche match appear significant.
