Real Madrid's Trent Alexander-Arnold Could Return to Face Liverpool in November's Champions League Fixture
The Spanish giants signed Trent Alexander-Arnold with a long-term agreement
The defender's rehabilitation is advancing smoothly, giving hope that the Real Madrid defender might be fit in time to face his previous club Liverpool in the upcoming Champions League tie.
The 27-year-old international suffered a muscle injury while playing against French side Marseille in the group stage of the competition on September 16.
Alexander-Arnold exited the field in the early stages, with initial estimates pointing to a possible absence of around a month and a half.
Real Madrid are scheduled to visit Liverpool on 4 November for the European match—exactly over a month after the injury took place.
Insiders familiar with the situation state that the player's recovery is advancing well, and there is hope that Alexander-Arnold may achieve his first comeback to Anfield after moving to Los Blancos in the summer.
A longtime Liverpool fan, Alexander-Arnold previously remarked that departing from the club he entered as a six-year-old academy talent was the "most difficult decision he has ever made."
During his time with the Reds, Alexander-Arnold accumulated 354 games, contributing to claim two English top-flight championships, a European Cup, and the FA Cup.
Since moving to the Spanish capital, Alexander-Arnold has appeared five times in all competitions, logging 156 minutes of game time.
