Los Blancos' Trent Alexander-Arnold Could Face Liverpool in November's European Match
The Spanish giants brought in Trent Alexander-Arnold with a six-year deal
Trent Alexander-Arnold's comeback is progressing smoothly, raising hope that the Madrid defender might recover soon enough to play against his former team Liverpool in the upcoming Champions League tie.
The English player sustained a muscle problem while playing against Ligue 1 club Marseille in the group stage of the competition on 16 September.
Alexander-Arnold had to leave the field in the early stages, with initial reports suggesting a potential absence of up to six weeks.
Real Madrid are scheduled to play at Liverpool on November 4 for the European match—precisely seven weeks after the injury took place.
Sources close to the player's condition indicate that the defender's healing process is moving along positively, and there is expectation that Alexander-Arnold could make his initial return to Liverpool's stadium since joining Real Madrid in June.
A longtime Liverpool supporter, Alexander-Arnold earlier remarked that departing from the club he joined as a young youth player was the "toughest choice he has ever made."
During his tenure with the Reds, Alexander-Arnold notched over 350 appearances, contributing to win multiple English top-flight championships, a Champions League, and the FA Cup.
Since moving to the Spanish capital, Alexander-Arnold has appeared five times in all competitions, accumulating 156 minutes of action.
