Los Blancos' Alexander-Arnold May Play Against Liverpool in Upcoming Champions League Fixture
Real Madrid signed Trent Alexander-Arnold on a long-term agreement
The defender's comeback is moving forward well, raising hope that the Real Madrid defender might be fit soon enough to face his previous team Liverpool in November's Champions League tie.
The 27-year-old player suffered a muscle injury while playing against Ligue 1 club Marseille in the group stage of the competition on September 16.
Alexander-Arnold had to leave the field in the early stages, with early reports pointing to a possible absence of around six weeks.
Real Madrid will travel to face Liverpool on 4 November for the European fixture—precisely seven weeks since the injury happened.
Insiders familiar with the situation state that the player's comeback is advancing favorably, and there is hope that Alexander-Arnold could achieve his first return to Liverpool's stadium after moving to Real Madrid in June.
A longtime Liverpool fan, Alexander-Arnold previously said that departing from the team he entered as a young youth talent was the "toughest decision he has ever made."
During his tenure with the Reds, Alexander-Arnold notched over 350 appearances, helping claim two English top-flight championships, a European Cup, and the FA Cup.
Since joining to Madrid, Alexander-Arnold has featured on five occasions across all competitions, logging over two and a half hours of action.
