Los Blancos' Alexander-Arnold Could Play Against Liverpool in Forthcoming Champions League Match
Real Madrid acquired Trent Alexander-Arnold on a six-year deal
Trent Alexander-Arnold's rehabilitation is progressing well, raising a chance that the Madrid right-back could return soon enough to confront his old club Liverpool in the upcoming Champions League encounter.
The English international sustained a hamstring problem while playing against French side Marseille in the initial phase of the tournament on September 16.
Alexander-Arnold exited the field in the fifth minute, with initial indications pointing to a potential absence of around six weeks.
Real Madrid will travel to visit Liverpool on November 4 for the European match—just seven weeks since the incident took place.
Insiders familiar with the player's condition indicate that the player's comeback is moving along favorably, and there is optimism that Alexander-Arnold could make his first appearance to Anfield after joining Real Madrid in June.
A devoted Liverpool fan, Alexander-Arnold previously stated that departing from the team he entered as a young youth talent was the "toughest choice he's ever taken."
During his time with the Reds, Alexander-Arnold notched 354 games, contributing to claim two Premier League championships, a European Cup, and the FA Cup.
After his transfer to Madrid, Alexander-Arnold has played five times in all competitions, accumulating over two and a half hours of playing time.
