Los Blancos' Alexander-Arnold May Face Liverpool in Upcoming Champions League Fixture
The Spanish giants acquired Trent Alexander-Arnold on a six-year agreement
Trent Alexander-Arnold's rehabilitation is moving forward smoothly, raising a chance that the Real Madrid right-back may be fit soon enough to play against his previous club Liverpool in the upcoming Champions League match.
The 27-year-old international sustained a hamstring problem while playing against Ligue 1 side Marseille in the initial phase of the tournament on September 16.
Alexander-Arnold was forced off the field in the early stages, with early indications suggesting a potential layoff of around six weeks.
Real Madrid are scheduled to play at Liverpool on November 4 for the Champions League match—precisely over a month since the injury took place.
Reports close to the situation indicate that the defender's healing process is moving along favorably, and there is expectation that Alexander-Arnold might make his first comeback to Anfield after signing for Real Madrid in the summer.
A longtime Liverpool supporter, Alexander-Arnold earlier said that leaving the club he entered as a six-year-old youth talent was the "most difficult decision he's ever made."
During his tenure with the Reds, Alexander-Arnold made over 350 games, contributing to claim multiple Premier League championships, a Champions League, and the FA Cup.
Since joining to Madrid, Alexander-Arnold has appeared on five occasions across various tournaments, totaling 156 minutes of action.
