Los Blancos' Trent Alexander-Arnold Might Play Against Liverpool in November's Champions League Fixture
The Spanish giants brought in Trent Alexander-Arnold on a six-year contract
Trent Alexander-Arnold's rehabilitation is moving forward well, giving possibility that the Madrid right-back could return in time to confront his previous team Liverpool in the upcoming Champions League encounter.
The 27-year-old international suffered a hamstring problem during a match against Ligue 1 club Marseille in the initial phase of the tournament on September 16.
Alexander-Arnold exited the pitch in the early stages, with early indications pointing to a possible absence of as long as six weeks.
Real Madrid are scheduled to play at Liverpool on 4 November for the Champions League fixture—exactly over a month since the injury happened.
Reports familiar with the situation indicate that the player's healing process is moving along positively, and there is optimism that Alexander-Arnold might make his initial comeback to Liverpool's stadium after moving to Los Blancos in the summer.
A lifelong Liverpool supporter, Alexander-Arnold previously said that departing from the club he joined as a six-year-old academy talent was the "toughest choice he's ever made."
During his tenure with the Reds, Alexander-Arnold accumulated 354 games, helping claim multiple English top-flight titles, a Champions League, and the domestic cup.
After his transfer to Madrid, Alexander-Arnold has featured five times in all competitions, accumulating over two and a half hours of game time.
