Trent Alexander-Arnold's Real Madrid shirt number revealed ahead of Club World Cup as ex-Liverpool star is forced to leave iconic No.66 behind

Real have revealed their squad list and the official numbers that they will wear at the Club World Cup, with Alexander-Arnold forced to leave his iconic Liverpool shirt number, No.66, behind. Instead, the right-back is set to wear the No.12 shirt, as every player in La Liga must have a shirt number between one and 25.

The No.12 shirt was previously made famous by Marcelo, the Brazilian left-back who won the Champions League five times with Los Blancos, and was most recently worn by Eduardo Camavinga. Alexander-Arnold wore the 66 from when he was a youth player, and never chose to update it at Anfield. Now, he appears to have added the numbers together, although it is subject to change later in pre-season.

Alexander-Arnold moves to Spain after making 354 appearances for Liverpool, and could make his official bow during the Club World Cup. He goes into the tournament off the back of an ill-fated international break, in which he was left out of both of England's starting XIs against Andorra and Senegal.

Real play Al-Hilal, Pachuca, and Red Bull Salzburg in the group stage of the upcoming tournament.
