Los Blancos' Trent Alexander-Arnold Might Face Liverpool in Upcoming European Clash
Real Madrid brought in Trent Alexander-Arnold with a multi-year deal
The defender's rehabilitation is advancing well, raising a chance that the Real Madrid defender might return in time to face his old team Liverpool in the upcoming Champions League tie.
The English international sustained a hamstring strain while playing against Ligue 1 club Marseille in the group stage of the competition on September 16.
Alexander-Arnold exited the field in the fifth minute, with early indications suggesting a potential layoff of around a month and a half.
Real Madrid are scheduled to play at Liverpool on November 4 for the Champions League fixture—exactly seven weeks since the injury happened.
Reports close to the player's condition indicate that the player's comeback is progressing favorably, and there is optimism that Alexander-Arnold may make his first appearance to Liverpool's stadium since moving to Real Madrid in June.
A devoted Liverpool fan, Alexander-Arnold earlier remarked that leaving the club he joined as a young academy talent was the "toughest decision he has ever made."
During his tenure with the Merseyside club, Alexander-Arnold made 354 appearances, helping win two English top-flight titles, a European Cup, and the domestic cup.
After moving to Madrid, Alexander-Arnold has appeared on five occasions across all competitions, accumulating 156 minutes of action.
