Los Blancos' Alexander-Arnold May Face Liverpool in Forthcoming European Clash
Real Madrid acquired Trent Alexander-Arnold with a multi-year agreement
Trent Alexander-Arnold's comeback is progressing according to plan, giving hope that the Madrid right-back might recover soon enough to confront his former club Liverpool in the upcoming European encounter.
The 27-year-old international suffered a hamstring injury during a match against Ligue 1 club Marseille in the group stage of the tournament on September 16.
Alexander-Arnold had to leave the pitch in the early stages, with early reports suggesting a potential absence of around a month and a half.
Real Madrid are scheduled to play at Liverpool on 4 November for the European fixture—just seven weeks after the incident happened.
Reports familiar with the player's condition indicate that the defender's recovery is progressing well, and there is hope that Alexander-Arnold might achieve his initial comeback to Anfield since moving to Los Blancos in June.
A devoted Liverpool fan, Alexander-Arnold previously remarked that departing from the team he entered as a six-year-old youth player was the "toughest choice he's ever taken."
During his tenure with the Reds, Alexander-Arnold accumulated 354 games, helping win two English top-flight titles, a Champions League, and the domestic cup.
Since moving to the Spanish capital, Alexander-Arnold has played on five occasions across all competitions, totaling 156 minutes of action.
