Marca: Trent Alexander-Arnold hopes to replicate Bellingham s recovery plan to get back to top form

"Marca" reported that Bellingham used a period of intermission to stay in Madrid to implement a specific rehabilitation plan, and successfully regained his "light" through rest, physical fitness and psychological adjustment. Now, Arnold is determined to replicate this approach.

Arnold will use the two-week break between national team matches to stay in Madrid for a "mini pre-season preparation." It is reported that this is a decision jointly made by the players and the coaching staff, aiming to prioritize a "comprehensive reset" rather than risking a forced comeback.

Real Madrid's goal is to help him return to his best form. Xabi Alonso's plan for him is comprehensive, covering physical, technical and mental aspects to help him adapt to the new system and build confidence. Especially after Carvajal's injury, Real Madrid needs him to step up more than ever.

Real Madrid placed a heavy bet on Arnold this summer. The club paid 10 million euros to Liverpool to finalize his early arrival and help him integrate into Xabi Alonso's team as soon as possible.

His Real Madrid career had a promising start. He made five consecutive starts in the Club World Cup and contributed the only assist. But the good luck did not last. A tear in the biceps femoris of his left leg caused him to miss seven consecutive games, and the adaptation process was interrupted.

Data shows that in the 16 games so far this season, Arnold has only played in 7 games, and none of them played the entire game. His return has been slow and piecemeal, playing just nine minutes against boos at Anfield and a token seven minutes against Rayo Vallecano.

The Western media concluded that, like Bellingham's previous situation, this intermission was regarded as a key opportunity for Arnold to put aside his setbacks, strengthen his body and mind, and shine again.
