Real Madrid's Trent Alexander-Arnold May Return to Face Liverpool in Upcoming Champions League Clash
Real Madrid acquired Trent Alexander-Arnold with a multi-year contract
The defender's recovery is advancing well, giving a chance that the Madrid right-back may recover soon enough to confront his previous team Liverpool in November's European tie.
The English international suffered a hamstring strain while playing against Ligue 1 club Marseille in the initial phase of the competition on September 16.
Alexander-Arnold had to leave the pitch in the fifth minute, with early reports suggesting a possible absence of around a month and a half.
Real Madrid will travel to visit Liverpool on 4 November for the Champions League match—precisely over a month since the incident took place.
Sources familiar with the situation state that the defender's comeback is advancing well, and there is hope that Alexander-Arnold might make his first appearance to Liverpool's stadium after moving to Real Madrid in June.
A longtime Liverpool supporter, Alexander-Arnold previously stated that leaving the club he entered as a young youth talent was the "most difficult choice he has ever taken."
During his time with the Merseyside club, Alexander-Arnold accumulated 354 games, contributing to win two English top-flight championships, a Champions League, and the domestic cup.
After joining to the Spanish capital, Alexander-Arnold has played five times across all competitions, logging over two and a half hours of action.
