Real Madrid's Trent Alexander-Arnold Might Return to Face Liverpool in Forthcoming European Clash
Real Madrid signed Trent Alexander-Arnold with a long-term agreement
Trent Alexander-Arnold's recovery is moving forward according to plan, raising a chance that the Madrid defender could recover in time to play against his previous team Liverpool in the upcoming Champions League tie.
The 27-year-old international suffered a hamstring strain during a match against Ligue 1 side Marseille in the group stage of the tournament on September 16.
Alexander-Arnold had to leave the pitch in the early stages, with early indications indicating a potential layoff of around a month and a half.
Real Madrid are set to visit Liverpool on November 4 for the European fixture—precisely over a month after the incident happened.
Reports close to the player's condition suggest that the player's comeback is progressing positively, and there is hope that Alexander-Arnold could achieve his initial comeback to Anfield since signing for Real Madrid in June.
A devoted Liverpool supporter, Alexander-Arnold previously said that leaving the team he joined as a young youth player was the "hardest choice he has ever made."
During his time with the Merseyside club, Alexander-Arnold notched over 350 games, contributing to win two Premier League championships, a European Cup, and the FA Cup.
Since his transfer to the Spanish capital, Alexander-Arnold has featured five times in all competitions, accumulating 156 minutes of playing time.
