Real Madrid's Trent Alexander-Arnold May Play Against Liverpool in November's European Clash
The Spanish giants acquired Trent Alexander-Arnold on a long-term deal
Trent Alexander-Arnold's comeback is progressing well, giving hope that the Madrid defender may return in time to face his old club Liverpool in the upcoming Champions League match.
The English player sustained a hamstring 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 indications indicating a possible layoff of around six weeks.
Real Madrid are set to visit Liverpool on November 4 for the Champions League fixture—precisely over a month after the incident occurred.
Insiders familiar with the situation suggest that the defender's healing process is progressing positively, and there is expectation that Alexander-Arnold may make his first return to Anfield since joining Real Madrid in June.
A longtime Liverpool fan, Alexander-Arnold previously remarked that departing from the club he joined as a young youth player was the "hardest decision he's ever taken."
During his tenure with the Merseyside club, Alexander-Arnold made over 350 games, contributing to win multiple Premier League championships, a Champions League, and the domestic cup.
Since joining to the Spanish capital, Alexander-Arnold has appeared five times across various tournaments, logging over two and a half hours of playing time.
