Los Blancos' Trent Alexander-Arnold May Play Against Liverpool in Upcoming Champions League Match
The Spanish giants signed Trent Alexander-Arnold on a long-term agreement
The defender's comeback is moving forward well, giving hope that the Real Madrid defender might return in time to play against his previous team Liverpool in November's European tie.
The English player experienced a hamstring injury during a match against Ligue 1 club Marseille in the initial phase of the competition on 16 September.
Alexander-Arnold exited the field in the fifth minute, with initial indications indicating a potential absence of up to six weeks.
Real Madrid will travel to face Liverpool on 4 November for the Champions League fixture—exactly seven weeks since the injury took place.
Sources close to the player's condition suggest that the player's healing process is progressing well, and there is optimism that Alexander-Arnold may achieve his initial comeback to Liverpool's stadium after signing for Real Madrid in the summer.
A devoted Liverpool fan, Alexander-Arnold earlier stated that leaving the club he joined as a young youth talent was the "toughest choice he has ever made."
During his spell with the Reds, Alexander-Arnold made over 350 appearances, contributing to win multiple English top-flight titles, a Champions League, and the domestic cup.
After joining to the Spanish capital, Alexander-Arnold has played five times in various tournaments, totaling over two and a half hours of action.
