Real Madrid's Trent Alexander-Arnold May Return to Face Liverpool in Upcoming Champions League Clash
The Spanish giants signed Trent Alexander-Arnold with a six-year agreement
The defender's rehabilitation is moving forward well, giving a chance that the Madrid defender might recover in time to confront his previous team Liverpool in November's European match.
The 27-year-old player experienced a hamstring strain during a match against French club Marseille in the group stage of the competition on September 16.
Alexander-Arnold had to leave the field in the fifth minute, with initial indications indicating a potential layoff of up to a month and a half.
Real Madrid are scheduled to face Liverpool on November 4 for the European fixture—exactly over a month since the injury happened.
Insiders familiar with the situation indicate that the player's comeback is moving along positively, and there is hope that Alexander-Arnold might make his first return to Liverpool's stadium since signing for Real Madrid in June.
A devoted Liverpool fan, Alexander-Arnold previously remarked that departing from the team he joined as a young youth player was the "most difficult decision he's ever taken."
During his spell with the Reds, Alexander-Arnold made 354 games, helping secure two Premier League championships, a Champions League, and the FA Cup.
After his transfer to the Spanish capital, Alexander-Arnold has appeared five times in various tournaments, totaling over two and a half hours of action.
