Los Blancos' Trent Alexander-Arnold May Play Against His Former Club in November's Champions League Fixture
Real Madrid brought in Trent Alexander-Arnold on a multi-year deal
The defender's comeback is progressing smoothly, giving a chance that the Madrid defender could recover soon enough to play against his previous team Liverpool in November's Champions League match.
The 27-year-old international suffered a hamstring injury while playing against French club Marseille in the group stage of the tournament on September 16.
Alexander-Arnold exited the pitch in the fifth minute, with early estimates suggesting a potential absence of around a month and a half.
Real Madrid will travel to visit Liverpool on 4 November for the Champions League fixture—just seven weeks after the incident took place.
Reports familiar with the player's condition state that the player's comeback is advancing well, and there is optimism that Alexander-Arnold may achieve his initial appearance to Anfield since signing for Los Blancos in the summer.
A lifelong Liverpool fan, Alexander-Arnold earlier remarked that leaving the team he entered as a six-year-old youth talent was the "hardest decision he's ever made."
During his time with the Reds, Alexander-Arnold notched 354 games, contributing to claim multiple English top-flight titles, a European Cup, and the FA Cup.
Since moving to the Spanish capital, Alexander-Arnold has featured on five occasions in various tournaments, accumulating over two and a half hours of game time.
