Los Blancos' Trent Alexander-Arnold Might Play Against Liverpool in November's Champions League Match
The Spanish giants acquired Trent Alexander-Arnold on a long-term contract
Trent Alexander-Arnold's comeback is moving forward well, giving hope that the Real Madrid defender might return in time to confront his former team Liverpool in November's European encounter.
The 27-year-old international sustained a muscle injury while playing against French side Marseille in the group stage of the competition on 16 September.
Alexander-Arnold had to leave the field in the early stages, with early reports suggesting a possible absence of around a month and a half.
Real Madrid are set to face Liverpool on 4 November for the Champions League fixture—just over a month since the incident took place.
Insiders close to the player's condition suggest that the player's healing process is moving along well, and there is optimism that Alexander-Arnold may make his first return to Anfield after signing for Los Blancos in June.
A longtime Liverpool fan, Alexander-Arnold previously said that leaving the club he joined as a young academy player was the "most difficult choice he's ever made."
During his spell with the Reds, Alexander-Arnold accumulated 354 appearances, contributing to claim multiple Premier League championships, a European Cup, and the domestic cup.
After his transfer to Madrid, Alexander-Arnold has played on five occasions across all competitions, accumulating 156 minutes of action.
