Los Blancos' Alexander-Arnold Could Face Liverpool in Forthcoming Champions League Clash
Real Madrid acquired Trent Alexander-Arnold with a six-year agreement
Trent Alexander-Arnold's comeback is progressing well, giving hope that the Real Madrid defender may recover soon enough to play against his previous club Liverpool in November's Champions League encounter.
The English international suffered a muscle problem during a match against Ligue 1 side Marseille in the initial phase of the tournament on September 16.
Alexander-Arnold exited the field in the early stages, with early estimates indicating a possible absence of as long as a month and a half.
Real Madrid will travel to face Liverpool on 4 November for the European fixture—exactly over a month since the incident took place.
Insiders close to the player's condition indicate that the defender's healing process is progressing favorably, and there is optimism that Alexander-Arnold may achieve his initial appearance to Anfield after moving to Los Blancos in June.
A longtime Liverpool supporter, Alexander-Arnold previously stated that leaving the club he joined as a six-year-old academy player was the "toughest decision he has ever taken."
During his tenure with the Merseyside club, Alexander-Arnold made 354 games, helping secure two English top-flight championships, a European Cup, and the FA Cup.
Since moving to Madrid, Alexander-Arnold has featured on five occasions across various tournaments, totaling 156 minutes of game time.
