Real Madrid's Alexander-Arnold May Play Against Liverpool in November's European Match
The Spanish giants brought in Trent Alexander-Arnold with a multi-year agreement
Trent Alexander-Arnold's comeback is moving forward smoothly, giving a chance that the Madrid right-back may be fit in time to face his former club Liverpool in the upcoming European tie.
The English player sustained a hamstring injury during a match against French side Marseille in the initial phase of the tournament on September 16.
Alexander-Arnold exited the field in the early stages, with early estimates indicating a possible absence of around six weeks.
Real Madrid will travel to face Liverpool on November 4 for the European match—precisely seven weeks after the incident occurred.
Insiders close to the situation state that the defender's healing process is advancing well, and there is expectation that Alexander-Arnold may make his initial comeback to Liverpool's stadium since moving to Los Blancos in June.
A lifelong Liverpool supporter, Alexander-Arnold earlier remarked that departing from the team he entered as a six-year-old youth talent was the "toughest decision he's ever taken."
During his spell with the Merseyside club, Alexander-Arnold made 354 games, contributing to win two Premier League championships, a European Cup, and the FA Cup.
After his transfer to Madrid, Alexander-Arnold has played five times in all competitions, logging 156 minutes of game time.
