Trent back in training but won’t start against Madrid
During Tuesday’s press conference, Arne Slot confirmed that Trent Alexander-Arnold will not be available to start this evening, he said: “Trent is in the squad but he will not be available to start.
“He can maybe make a few minutes, in an ideal world he maybe doesn’t, but if it is really necessary he can make a few minutes tomorrow but he is not going to start.”
Fast start in Serbia
Stuttgart kicked off tonight’s scoring with Ermedin Demirovic’s half-volley putting the Germans ahead.
But their lead didn’t last long as Red Star equalised seven minutes later through Silas, who coincidently is on loan from Stuttgart!
