Los Blancos' Trent Alexander-Arnold Might Play Against Liverpool in Forthcoming Champions League Match
The Spanish giants brought in Trent Alexander-Arnold on a six-year deal
The defender's rehabilitation is progressing smoothly, giving possibility that the Madrid defender could return in time to confront his old club Liverpool in November's Champions League match.
The 27-year-old player suffered a hamstring injury during a match against Ligue 1 side Marseille in the initial phase of the tournament on 16 September.
Alexander-Arnold was forced off the pitch in the fifth minute, with initial reports suggesting a potential absence of as long as a month and a half.
Real Madrid are set to visit Liverpool on November 4 for the Champions League fixture—just over a month since the incident occurred.
Sources close to the player's condition state that the player's recovery is moving along positively, and there is optimism that Alexander-Arnold may achieve his first comeback to Liverpool's stadium after signing for Los Blancos in the summer.
A longtime Liverpool fan, Alexander-Arnold previously remarked that departing from the club he joined as a young youth talent was the "hardest choice he's ever made."
During his spell with the Reds, Alexander-Arnold accumulated over 350 games, contributing to secure multiple Premier League championships, a European Cup, and the FA Cup.
Since moving to Madrid, Alexander-Arnold has appeared on five occasions across various tournaments, accumulating 156 minutes of action.
