Los Blancos' Trent Alexander-Arnold Might Play Against Liverpool in Upcoming European Fixture
Real Madrid brought in Trent Alexander-Arnold on a multi-year deal
Trent Alexander-Arnold's comeback is progressing smoothly, giving a chance that the Real Madrid defender could recover soon enough to face his former team Liverpool in the upcoming Champions League encounter.
The English international experienced a hamstring injury during a match against Ligue 1 side Marseille in the initial phase of the competition on 16 September.
Alexander-Arnold was forced off the pitch in the fifth minute, with initial estimates suggesting a possible layoff of up to six weeks.
Real Madrid are scheduled to play at Liverpool on November 4 for the Champions League match—just over a month after the injury occurred.
Insiders familiar with the situation suggest that the player's recovery is moving along favorably, and there is optimism that Alexander-Arnold could achieve his initial return to Anfield after signing for Los Blancos in the summer.
A lifelong Liverpool supporter, Alexander-Arnold previously remarked that departing from the team he joined as a six-year-old youth talent was the "most difficult choice he has ever made."
During his tenure with the Reds, Alexander-Arnold made over 350 games, contributing to claim multiple Premier League titles, a European Cup, and the FA Cup.
After moving to the Spanish capital, Alexander-Arnold has played five times in various tournaments, totaling over two and a half hours of game time.
