Los Blancos' Alexander-Arnold May Return to Face Liverpool in November's European Match
Real Madrid signed Trent Alexander-Arnold with a long-term agreement
Trent Alexander-Arnold's rehabilitation is progressing according to plan, giving a chance that the Real Madrid defender may recover in time to confront his old club Liverpool in November's European tie.
The English player suffered a muscle injury during a match against Ligue 1 club Marseille in the initial phase of the competition on 16 September.
Alexander-Arnold was forced off the field in the early stages, with early indications suggesting a possible layoff of up to six weeks.
Real Madrid will travel to face Liverpool on November 4 for the Champions League fixture—exactly over a month after the injury happened.
Insiders close to the situation state that the player's healing process is progressing positively, and there is optimism that Alexander-Arnold may achieve his initial appearance to Anfield since signing for Real Madrid in June.
A devoted Liverpool supporter, Alexander-Arnold previously said that leaving the team he joined as a young youth player was the "most difficult choice he's ever made."
During his spell with the Reds, Alexander-Arnold notched 354 games, helping claim multiple English top-flight titles, a Champions League, and the domestic cup.
Since his transfer to Madrid, Alexander-Arnold has played five times across all competitions, logging over two and a half hours of game time.
