That’s how he’s taking the whole thing.”He also acknowledged the competition for the position.“But there are two ahead of him in the same position (Valverde and Dumfries) and in fact, Eder Militao was also used as a right back against Sevilla. He’s certainly third it seems.”Balague said Mourinho has told the player to keep working.“But he’s not down, he’s been told by Mourinho to keep at it, he will have his moment.”He added that Alexander-Arnold has been unlucky when he has started.

“It’s been unfair that when he has played from the start, he has played in the midfield because of the absentees.”Balague ended with a clear message. “But in any case, he’s got to keep fighting and he wants to succeed at Real Madrid, so he’s got no intention of leaving.”Alexander-Arnold is under contract at Real Madrid until 2031.Support DaveOCKOP and enjoy the site completely ad-free.
