Real Madrid's Trent Alexander-Arnold May Return to Face Liverpool in Upcoming European Fixture
Real Madrid signed Trent Alexander-Arnold on a multi-year agreement
Trent Alexander-Arnold's rehabilitation is moving forward according to plan, giving hope that the Real Madrid defender could be fit soon enough to play against his former club Liverpool in November's European encounter.
The English international sustained a muscle problem during a match against French side Marseille in the group stage of the tournament on September 16.
Alexander-Arnold exited the field in the early stages, with initial estimates indicating a possible absence of up to a month and a half.
Real Madrid will travel to play at Liverpool on 4 November for the Champions League match—just over a month since the incident happened.
Sources familiar with the player's condition indicate that the player's healing process is advancing positively, and there is hope that Alexander-Arnold could achieve his first return to Liverpool's stadium since joining Real Madrid in June.
A devoted Liverpool supporter, Alexander-Arnold previously remarked that leaving the team he joined as a six-year-old youth player was the "toughest choice he's ever made."
During his tenure with the Reds, Alexander-Arnold notched over 350 games, contributing to claim multiple English top-flight championships, a Champions League, and the domestic cup.
Since joining to Madrid, Alexander-Arnold has played on five occasions across all competitions, logging over two and a half hours of game time.
