Real Madrid's Trent Alexander-Arnold Might Play Against Liverpool in Upcoming European Fixture
The Spanish giants signed Trent Alexander-Arnold with a long-term contract
Trent Alexander-Arnold's comeback is progressing well, raising hope that the Madrid right-back might return soon enough to face his previous club Liverpool in November's Champions League match.
The English international suffered a muscle strain during a match against Ligue 1 club Marseille in the initial phase of the competition on 16 September.
Alexander-Arnold had to leave the field in the fifth minute, with initial reports indicating a potential layoff of around six weeks.
Real Madrid will travel to face Liverpool on November 4 for the Champions League fixture—just over a month since the injury happened.
Sources familiar with the player's condition suggest that the defender's comeback is moving along favorably, and there is hope that Alexander-Arnold might achieve his initial appearance to Anfield since joining Real Madrid in the summer.
A lifelong Liverpool supporter, Alexander-Arnold previously said that leaving the team he entered as a six-year-old youth talent was the "most difficult decision he has ever taken."
During his spell with the Merseyside club, Alexander-Arnold notched 354 games, helping win two Premier League titles, a European Cup, and the domestic cup.
Since his transfer to Madrid, Alexander-Arnold has appeared five times in various tournaments, logging 156 minutes of action.
