Los Blancos' Alexander-Arnold Might Return to Face His Former Club in November's Champions League Fixture
Real Madrid brought in Trent Alexander-Arnold with a six-year agreement
Trent Alexander-Arnold's comeback is advancing smoothly, raising possibility that the Madrid right-back could return soon enough to confront his old club Liverpool in November's European tie.
The 27-year-old player sustained a hamstring injury while playing against French club Marseille in the initial phase of the competition on September 16.
Alexander-Arnold exited the field in the fifth minute, with early indications pointing to a potential absence of as long as six weeks.
Real Madrid will travel to play at Liverpool on November 4 for the Champions League match—precisely over a month after the incident occurred.
Sources close to the situation state that the defender's recovery is moving along well, and there is optimism that Alexander-Arnold may make his first return to Anfield after signing for Los Blancos in the summer.
A devoted Liverpool supporter, Alexander-Arnold previously stated that departing from the team he entered as a young youth talent was the "toughest choice he's ever made."
During his tenure with the Merseyside club, Alexander-Arnold made 354 appearances, contributing to secure multiple English top-flight championships, a Champions League, and the domestic cup.
After joining to the Spanish capital, Alexander-Arnold has played five times in all competitions, accumulating over two and a half hours of action.
