Los Blancos' Trent Alexander-Arnold Could Face Liverpool in Forthcoming European Match
Real Madrid signed Trent Alexander-Arnold on a long-term agreement
Trent Alexander-Arnold's comeback is advancing smoothly, giving a chance that the Real Madrid right-back might be fit soon enough to confront his former team Liverpool in November's Champions League encounter.
The English international experienced a hamstring strain while playing against French club Marseille in the initial phase of the competition on September 16.
Alexander-Arnold exited the field in the fifth minute, with early estimates indicating a possible layoff of as long as a month and a half.
Real Madrid will travel to face Liverpool on November 4 for the Champions League match—precisely over a month after the incident took place.
Reports close to the situation suggest that the player's healing process is moving along well, and there is hope that Alexander-Arnold might achieve his initial comeback to Liverpool's stadium since joining Los Blancos in the summer.
A devoted Liverpool fan, Alexander-Arnold earlier said that leaving the team he entered as a young academy talent was the "hardest decision he has ever made."
During his tenure with the Reds, Alexander-Arnold accumulated 354 games, contributing to secure multiple Premier League championships, a Champions League, and the domestic cup.
Since moving to Madrid, Alexander-Arnold has appeared on five occasions in all competitions, accumulating over two and a half hours of action.
