Real Madrid's Trent Alexander-Arnold Could Face Liverpool in Upcoming Champions League Clash
The Spanish giants brought in Trent Alexander-Arnold on a multi-year deal
The defender's comeback is moving forward well, giving a chance that the Real Madrid defender may recover soon enough to confront his previous club Liverpool in November's European match.
The 27-year-old player sustained a hamstring injury during a match against French club Marseille in the initial phase of the competition on September 16.
Alexander-Arnold exited the pitch in the early stages, with early reports pointing to a potential absence of around a month and a half.
Real Madrid are set to visit Liverpool on 4 November for the European fixture—precisely over a month after the incident occurred.
Sources familiar with the situation suggest that the player's healing process is progressing favorably, and there is expectation that Alexander-Arnold may achieve his initial return to Anfield since joining Real Madrid in the summer.
A lifelong Liverpool fan, Alexander-Arnold previously said that departing from the club he entered as a six-year-old youth talent was the "hardest choice he's ever made."
During his spell with the Merseyside club, Alexander-Arnold accumulated over 350 appearances, helping win two English top-flight titles, a European Cup, and the domestic cup.
After joining to the Spanish capital, Alexander-Arnold has appeared five times in all competitions, accumulating 156 minutes of game time.
