Trent’s challenging times in Madrid
He began the La Liga season with the starting position secured – yet quickly found himself sidelined as Dani Carvajal returned to the lineup.
It became clear that the England star was primarily being utilized to allow the veteran Spanish player to maintain his stamina for the crucial parts of the season.

During one of his Champions League matches – against Marseille – he faced another injury that kept him out of action for about two months.
The 27-year-old has recently made his comeback to the competitive scene – although his performance was scrutinized by both Madrid supporters and the press.

Madrid correspondent Aranche Rodriguez has reported that Trent has experienced further injury issues – this time related to his quadriceps, which could keep him on the sidelines for up to two months.
It’s evident that the transfer is not proving beneficial for Trent – who has also forfeited his spot in Thomas Tuchel’s England squad.
While there were emotional farewells as the local talent departed the club after two decades – the realities of this move are now becoming evident.
