Real Madrid's Alexander-Arnold May Play Against Liverpool in November's European Clash
Real Madrid brought in Trent Alexander-Arnold on a long-term contract
Trent Alexander-Arnold's comeback is moving forward well, raising hope that the Real Madrid right-back could recover in time to face his previous team Liverpool in the upcoming Champions League tie.
The English international sustained a hamstring injury during a match against French side Marseille in the group stage of the tournament on 16 September.
Alexander-Arnold exited the pitch in the fifth minute, with early estimates suggesting a possible absence of up to six weeks.
Real Madrid will travel to play at Liverpool on November 4 for the Champions League match—exactly over a month since the incident occurred.
Insiders close to the situation indicate that the player's comeback is moving along well, and there is expectation that Alexander-Arnold might achieve his first comeback to Liverpool's stadium after moving to Real Madrid in the summer.
A longtime Liverpool supporter, Alexander-Arnold previously stated that departing from the team he joined as a young youth talent was the "toughest choice he's ever taken."
During his time with the Reds, Alexander-Arnold made over 350 appearances, helping secure multiple English top-flight titles, a European Cup, and the FA Cup.
Since moving to the Spanish capital, Alexander-Arnold has appeared five times across various tournaments, accumulating over two and a half hours of game time.
