The Spanish journalist José Félix Díaz, who is close to Real Madrid, revealed the true stance of coach Álvaro Arbeloa regarding the English star Trent Alexander-Arnold, amidst recent speculations about his future with the team.

Díaz explained that Arbeloa had a direct conversation with Arnold, during which he assured him that he would be an important and essential part of the team's project once he fully recovers from his injury, emphasizing his great confidence in Arnold's technical abilities and his capacity to make an impact on the field.

The source added that Arbeloa has given his full support to the player, with great confidence from the coaching staff and club management in his abilities. The coach is waiting for Arnold to return to full physical fitness in order to start relying on him in the starting lineup.

José Félix Díaz denied the accuracy of reports suggesting that Arbeloa informed Trent Alexander-Arnold that he is not part of his future plans, asserting that this news is completely unfounded and does not reflect the reality within the club.

Real Madrid signed Arnold last summer from Liverpool for 10 million euros, but the player has suffered several injuries this season, hindering his development and adaptation in the royal club's jersey.
