Valverde to undergo examination, RM right-back position stretched thin

In UEFA Champions League Group Stage Matchday 4 fixture, Real Madrid suffered a 0-1 away defeat to Liverpool. According to the latest report, Federico Valverde was substituted during the match due to muscle discomfort and will undergo medical examinations today.

It is reported that Valverde was substituted in the closing stages of the match after experiencing muscle discomfort. He will undergo tests to determine whether an injury has occurred. Post-match, he stated: "I'm not sure whether it's a muscle issue or a movement I made that caused the pain. We'll have to see."

Real Madrid's medical staff will examine the player on Wednesday to assess the extent of any injury. Carvajal will miss the remainder of the season following surgery to remove loose bodies from his right knee joint. Meanwhile, Arnold has just returned to action at Anfield after a spell out with a muscle injury, though he is yet to regain full match fitness.
