Trent Alexander-Arnold is at risk of losing his starting position.

Trent Alexander-Arnold could be dropped from Real Madrid's starting line-up by manager Xabi Alonso if he breaches club regulations.

Trent Alexander-Arnold is Real's notable new signing this summer.

The former Liverpool right-back has made two appearances at the 2025 FIFA Club World Cup™ since moving to Real Madrid. However, he will have to compete with veteran defender Dani Carvajal for a starting spot at right-back.

According to Marca , coach Xabi Alonso is ready to punish Alexander-Arnold if the Real Madrid new signing is late for pre-match meetings. The England star was famous for being late during his time at Liverpool, making him the center of attention.

At the moment, Coach Alonso is trying to tighten discipline at Real Madrid. And one of the conditions he requires is time. The new Real coach does not like chaos, always wants training sessions to be serious work time.

Bayer Leverkusen midfielder Aleix Garcia revealed: "We had some important players who were late for pre-match meetings, and Alonso put them on the bench. However, each club has its own rules. I don't know if Real Madrid have the same strict policy."

"Managing players like Alexander-Arnold, Mbappe or Vinicius? I don't know how Alonso will handle it, but I think it will be difficult. However, the shouting, the reprimands and the fines will still be applied by him," added Aleix Garcia.

Alexander-Arnold is known for his creative play and excellent individual skills. However, in the past, the English defender has not been good at following the rules set by his coach. This will make him liable to be punished by coach Alonso if he breaks the rules.

Real Madrid won the first match at the FIFA Club World Cup. In the early morning of June 23, Real defeated Pachuca 3-1 in the second match, Group F of the FIFA Club World Cup 2025™.
