Real Madrid's Alexander-Arnold Might Play Against Liverpool in November's European Fixture
The Spanish giants signed Trent Alexander-Arnold on a long-term deal
Trent Alexander-Arnold's comeback is progressing smoothly, raising a chance that the Real Madrid defender might be fit soon enough to play against his previous team Liverpool in November's Champions League encounter.
The 27-year-old player sustained a hamstring injury while playing against French club Marseille in the initial phase of the competition on September 16.
Alexander-Arnold had to leave the pitch in the fifth minute, with early reports indicating a possible absence of as long as six weeks.
Real Madrid are set to visit Liverpool on November 4 for the Champions League match—precisely over a month after the incident occurred.
Sources close to the player's condition indicate that the player's recovery is progressing well, and there is optimism that Alexander-Arnold may achieve his initial appearance to Liverpool's stadium after joining Los Blancos in the summer.
A lifelong Liverpool supporter, Alexander-Arnold earlier said that leaving the club he joined as a young academy player was the "hardest choice he has ever taken."
During his tenure with the Merseyside club, Alexander-Arnold notched 354 appearances, contributing to secure multiple English top-flight titles, a Champions League, and the FA Cup.
After joining to Madrid, Alexander-Arnold has featured five times across all competitions, logging over two and a half hours of game time.
