Los Blancos' Alexander-Arnold May Play Against His Former Club in November's Champions League Fixture
Real Madrid acquired Trent Alexander-Arnold on a six-year deal
Trent Alexander-Arnold's comeback is moving forward well, raising hope that the Madrid right-back may return soon enough to confront his old team Liverpool in the upcoming European tie.
The English player suffered a muscle strain while playing against Ligue 1 club Marseille in the group stage of the tournament on September 16.
Alexander-Arnold had to leave the field in the early stages, with early estimates indicating a potential absence of up to six weeks.
Real Madrid are set to play at Liverpool on 4 November for the European fixture—precisely over a month after the incident happened.
Insiders close to the situation suggest that the defender's recovery is progressing well, and there is expectation that Alexander-Arnold might make his first comeback to Anfield after signing for Real Madrid in the summer.
A devoted Liverpool fan, Alexander-Arnold earlier stated that departing from the team he entered as a young academy talent was the "hardest decision he's ever made."
During his time with the Merseyside club, Alexander-Arnold accumulated over 350 games, helping secure two English top-flight titles, a European Cup, and the FA Cup.
After joining to the Spanish capital, Alexander-Arnold has featured on five occasions across various tournaments, logging 156 minutes of game time.
