Los Blancos' Trent Alexander-Arnold May Return to Face Liverpool in November's European Clash
The Spanish giants signed Trent Alexander-Arnold with a six-year agreement
Trent Alexander-Arnold's recovery is progressing according to plan, raising possibility that the Madrid right-back could recover soon enough to face his previous club Liverpool in the upcoming European match.
The 27-year-old international sustained a hamstring problem during a match against French side Marseille in the group stage of the tournament on September 16.
Alexander-Arnold was forced off the field in the early stages, with early estimates pointing to a possible absence of up to a month and a half.
Real Madrid will travel to visit Liverpool on 4 November for the Champions League match—exactly over a month after the incident occurred.
Insiders close to the player's condition indicate that the player's comeback is progressing well, and there is expectation that Alexander-Arnold might achieve his initial appearance to Anfield since joining Real Madrid in June.
A devoted Liverpool supporter, Alexander-Arnold earlier said that departing from the team he entered as a young youth talent was the "hardest decision he's ever taken."
During his time with the Reds, Alexander-Arnold notched over 350 appearances, contributing to secure two Premier League titles, a European Cup, and the FA Cup.
After joining to Madrid, Alexander-Arnold has featured five times across various tournaments, totaling over two and a half hours of playing time.
