Los Blancos' Alexander-Arnold Might Return to Face Liverpool in November's Champions League Fixture
The Spanish giants signed Trent Alexander-Arnold on a six-year agreement
Trent Alexander-Arnold's comeback is progressing according to plan, raising a chance that the Madrid right-back might recover in time to play against his old club Liverpool in the upcoming European encounter.
The English player suffered a hamstring strain while playing against French club Marseille in the initial phase of the tournament on September 16.
Alexander-Arnold exited the pitch in the fifth minute, with initial indications suggesting a potential layoff of around six weeks.
Real Madrid will travel to visit Liverpool on November 4 for the Champions League fixture—precisely over a month after the injury occurred.
Reports close to the player's condition suggest that the defender's comeback is progressing well, and there is hope that Alexander-Arnold might make his first comeback to Liverpool's stadium since signing for Real Madrid in the summer.
A lifelong Liverpool supporter, Alexander-Arnold earlier remarked that departing from the club he joined as a six-year-old youth player was the "most difficult choice he has ever made."
During his time with the Reds, Alexander-Arnold notched 354 games, helping claim multiple English top-flight championships, a European Cup, and the FA Cup.
After moving to Madrid, Alexander-Arnold has played five times in all competitions, accumulating 156 minutes of action.
