Los Blancos' Trent Alexander-Arnold Could Play Against Liverpool in Upcoming European Fixture
The Spanish giants signed Trent Alexander-Arnold with a six-year deal
The defender's rehabilitation is moving forward well, raising hope that the Madrid defender might be fit soon enough to confront his previous team Liverpool in the upcoming Champions League tie.
The 27-year-old international experienced a muscle problem while playing against French side Marseille in the group stage of the tournament on September 16.
Alexander-Arnold exited the field in the early stages, with early reports suggesting a potential layoff of up to six weeks.
Real Madrid are set to visit Liverpool on 4 November for the European fixture—exactly over a month after the injury happened.
Insiders familiar with the player's condition indicate that the defender's healing process is moving along favorably, and there is optimism that Alexander-Arnold may achieve his initial comeback to Anfield since signing for Real Madrid in the summer.
A longtime Liverpool fan, Alexander-Arnold earlier stated that leaving the club he joined as a young academy talent was the "most difficult decision he has ever made."
During his tenure with the Reds, Alexander-Arnold accumulated 354 appearances, helping win multiple Premier League titles, a European Cup, and the domestic cup.
After his transfer to Madrid, Alexander-Arnold has appeared five times across all competitions, totaling 156 minutes of action.
