Los Blancos' Trent Alexander-Arnold Might Play Against Liverpool in Upcoming Champions League Clash
The Spanish giants signed Trent Alexander-Arnold with a six-year deal
The defender's recovery is progressing well, giving hope that the Real Madrid defender may return soon enough to confront his previous team Liverpool in November's Champions League tie.
The English player sustained a hamstring injury while playing against French side Marseille in the group stage of the tournament on September 16.
Alexander-Arnold had to leave the pitch in the early stages, with early estimates indicating a potential absence of up to a month and a half.
Real Madrid are set to play at Liverpool on November 4 for the Champions League fixture—exactly over a month since the incident happened.
Reports close to the situation indicate that the defender's recovery is advancing favorably, and there is expectation that Alexander-Arnold may achieve his initial appearance to Liverpool's stadium since moving to Real Madrid in June.
A devoted Liverpool fan, Alexander-Arnold earlier remarked that departing from the team he joined as a young youth talent was the "most difficult decision he's ever taken."
During his spell with the Merseyside club, Alexander-Arnold made over 350 games, contributing to secure two English top-flight championships, a Champions League, and the FA Cup.
After moving to the Spanish capital, Alexander-Arnold has appeared five times across all competitions, accumulating 156 minutes of game time.
