Real Madrid's Trent Alexander-Arnold Might Return to Face Liverpool in Forthcoming Champions League Match
The Spanish giants brought in Trent Alexander-Arnold on a multi-year contract
The defender's comeback is moving forward according to plan, raising a chance that the Madrid right-back might recover soon enough to confront his former team Liverpool in the upcoming European encounter.
The English international sustained a hamstring injury while playing against French club Marseille in the initial phase of the tournament on September 16.
Alexander-Arnold had to leave the field in the fifth minute, with initial reports pointing to a possible absence of up to six weeks.
Real Madrid are scheduled to visit Liverpool on November 4 for the Champions League match—exactly seven weeks since the incident occurred.
Reports close to the situation indicate that the player's comeback is advancing well, and there is hope that Alexander-Arnold could achieve his first comeback to Anfield after joining Real Madrid in the summer.
A devoted Liverpool fan, Alexander-Arnold earlier said that leaving the team he joined as a six-year-old academy talent was the "toughest decision he has ever taken."
During his tenure with the Reds, Alexander-Arnold notched 354 games, contributing to win multiple English top-flight championships, a European Cup, and the domestic cup.
After joining to the Spanish capital, Alexander-Arnold has appeared on five occasions in all competitions, logging 156 minutes of action.
