Real Madrid's Trent Alexander-Arnold Could Face Liverpool in Forthcoming European Match
The Spanish giants brought in Trent Alexander-Arnold with a multi-year deal
Trent Alexander-Arnold's comeback is advancing smoothly, raising hope that the Real Madrid right-back could return in time to play against his previous team Liverpool in the upcoming European match.
The 27-year-old player suffered a hamstring injury while playing against Ligue 1 side Marseille in the initial phase of the competition on 16 September.
Alexander-Arnold had to leave the pitch in the early stages, with initial indications indicating a possible layoff of up to six weeks.
Real Madrid will travel to face Liverpool on November 4 for the Champions League fixture—precisely over a month after the incident occurred.
Sources close to the situation state that the defender's healing process is advancing positively, and there is optimism that Alexander-Arnold might achieve his initial comeback to Liverpool's stadium after moving to Los Blancos in June.
A lifelong Liverpool fan, Alexander-Arnold earlier stated that departing from the club he entered as a six-year-old youth player was the "most difficult choice he has ever taken."
During his time with the Merseyside club, Alexander-Arnold accumulated over 350 games, contributing to claim two English top-flight titles, a Champions League, and the FA Cup.
After joining to the Spanish capital, Alexander-Arnold has appeared on five occasions across all competitions, totaling over two and a half hours of action.
