Los Blancos' Trent Alexander-Arnold Might Play Against Liverpool in November's Champions League Fixture
Real Madrid brought in Trent Alexander-Arnold on a six-year contract
Trent Alexander-Arnold's recovery is moving forward well, raising a chance that the Real Madrid right-back may recover in time to play against his old club Liverpool in November's European tie.
The English international suffered a muscle problem while playing against Ligue 1 club Marseille in the initial phase of the tournament on 16 September.
Alexander-Arnold had to leave the field in the early stages, with initial indications suggesting a potential layoff of around six weeks.
Real Madrid are scheduled to face Liverpool on November 4 for the Champions League fixture—precisely over a month after the incident happened.
Insiders close to the player's condition state that the defender's healing process is advancing favorably, and there is optimism that Alexander-Arnold might make his initial return to Liverpool's stadium since moving to Real Madrid in the summer.
A longtime Liverpool supporter, Alexander-Arnold earlier stated that leaving the club he joined as a young academy talent was the "most difficult decision he has ever taken."
During his time with the Reds, Alexander-Arnold made 354 games, helping claim two English top-flight championships, a European Cup, and the FA Cup.
Since moving to the Spanish capital, Alexander-Arnold has featured on five occasions across various tournaments, accumulating 156 minutes of game time.
Injury Update
