Real Madrid's Alexander-Arnold Could Play Against Liverpool in November's European Fixture
Real Madrid signed Trent Alexander-Arnold on a multi-year agreement
Trent Alexander-Arnold's rehabilitation is moving forward according to plan, giving hope that the Madrid right-back could return soon enough to confront his old team Liverpool in the upcoming Champions League encounter.
The 27-year-old player suffered a muscle injury during a match against French club Marseille in the initial phase of the competition on 16 September.
Alexander-Arnold exited the pitch in the fifth minute, with early reports suggesting a potential layoff of as long as six weeks.
Real Madrid are set to face Liverpool on November 4 for the European match—exactly over a month after the injury happened.
Reports familiar with the situation indicate that the player's comeback is progressing well, and there is optimism that Alexander-Arnold may make his initial return to Liverpool's stadium since moving to Real Madrid in June.
A devoted Liverpool supporter, Alexander-Arnold previously remarked that departing from the team he joined as a six-year-old youth talent was the "toughest choice he has ever made."
During his time with the Merseyside club, Alexander-Arnold accumulated over 350 appearances, helping claim multiple Premier League championships, a European Cup, and the domestic cup.
Since his transfer to the Spanish capital, Alexander-Arnold has played five times across various tournaments, totaling 156 minutes of game time.
