• Trent Alexander-Arnold is ready to start in the match against Rayo.
• Real Madrid is trying to maintain their lead in La Liga.
• The match against Rayo will be challenging due to their good form.

This is reported by ESPN, Marca.

Coach Real Madrid Xabi Alonso announced that Trent Alexander-Arnold is ready to start in the match against Rayo Vallecano, which will take place on Sunday. Alexander-Arnold returned after an injury and aims to improve his form after returning to the team. He played only nine minutes in the last match against Liverpool, where he received negative reactions from the fans.

This season, he has played only 165 minutes for Real, competing for a place with Dani Carvajal and Federico Valverde, who also play the right-back position. "He is ready, he has trained for several weeks," Alonso said at the press conference.

Real Madrid, after their defeat at Liverpool, aims to focus on the upcoming match. Alonso emphasized that the team needs to maintain the tempo in La Liga, where they occupy first place with 30 points after 11 games. He also noted that the team's recent results, including losses, do not significantly affect the overall picture.

The upcoming match against Rayo will be challenging, as the team has not won at this stadium since 2022. "This is an outstanding team, so Rayo is in good form," Alonso added, stressing the importance of each game for the team.
