Los Blancos' Trent Alexander-Arnold Might Play Against Liverpool in Forthcoming Champions League Clash
The Spanish giants signed Trent Alexander-Arnold on a long-term deal
The defender's comeback is moving forward well, giving possibility that the Madrid right-back may recover soon enough to play against his previous team Liverpool in the upcoming European encounter.
The English player sustained a hamstring injury while playing against French club Marseille in the group stage of the tournament on 16 September.
Alexander-Arnold exited the pitch in the fifth minute, with early indications suggesting a potential absence of as long as six weeks.
Real Madrid are set to visit Liverpool on 4 November for the Champions League fixture—exactly seven weeks after the incident happened.
Sources close to the player's condition state that the player's healing process is progressing favorably, and there is optimism that Alexander-Arnold may achieve his first return to Liverpool's stadium since signing for Real Madrid in June.
A devoted Liverpool supporter, Alexander-Arnold earlier stated that leaving the club he joined as a young youth talent was the "hardest decision he's ever made."
During his time with the Reds, Alexander-Arnold made over 350 appearances, helping win two Premier League championships, a Champions League, and the domestic cup.
After his transfer to the Spanish capital, Alexander-Arnold has appeared five times across various tournaments, totaling over two and a half hours of playing time.
