Los Blancos' Trent Alexander-Arnold Might Face Liverpool in Forthcoming Champions League Clash
Real Madrid signed Trent Alexander-Arnold on a multi-year contract
Trent Alexander-Arnold's rehabilitation is progressing well, raising possibility that the Real Madrid right-back might be fit soon enough to face his former team Liverpool in the upcoming European match.
The English international suffered a muscle strain while playing against French side Marseille in the initial phase of the tournament on September 16.
Alexander-Arnold had to leave the pitch in the early stages, with initial estimates indicating a potential absence of around six weeks.
Real Madrid are scheduled to play at Liverpool on 4 November for the Champions League match—precisely over a month after the incident took place.
Reports familiar with the situation state that the defender's recovery is advancing favorably, and there is hope that Alexander-Arnold may achieve his first appearance to Liverpool's stadium after signing for Real Madrid in June.
A devoted Liverpool supporter, Alexander-Arnold earlier said that leaving the club he entered as a young youth player was the "hardest decision he's ever made."
During his spell with the Merseyside club, Alexander-Arnold notched 354 games, contributing to secure multiple Premier League championships, a European Cup, and the FA Cup.
Since joining to the Spanish capital, Alexander-Arnold has featured on five occasions in various tournaments, accumulating 156 minutes of game time.
