Real Madrid just confirmed Arbeloa’s worst nightmare
February 7, 2026
It wouldn’t be a typical Real Madrid season if the squad weren’t ravaged by countless injuries to key players at the worst possible time. This has been happening every season since 2020/21, significantly affecting the team’s form and costing them the chance at trophies that are well within their grasp.
So far this season, Dani Carvajal, Trent Alexander-Arnold, Eder Militao, Eduardo Camavinga, Jude Bellingham, and even Kylian Mbappe have been sidelined with injuries, and their absences have proven costly in key games.
And for a Madrid frontline that, outside of Mbappe, is already struggling for form, and an injury up front is the worst nightmare for Los Blancos, and that nightmare has just come true for Arbeloa.
