Los Blancos' Alexander-Arnold Might Return to Face His Former Club in November's Champions League Clash
The Spanish giants brought in Trent Alexander-Arnold on a six-year agreement
Trent Alexander-Arnold's recovery is moving forward according to plan, raising a chance that the Real Madrid right-back could be fit soon enough to face his old team Liverpool in November's European encounter.
The English international suffered a hamstring strain during a match against Ligue 1 side Marseille in the initial phase of the competition on September 16.
Alexander-Arnold exited the pitch in the fifth minute, with early reports pointing to a possible layoff of up to six weeks.
Real Madrid are scheduled to play at Liverpool on 4 November for the European match—precisely seven weeks since the incident took place.
Reports familiar with the situation suggest that the defender's recovery is advancing positively, and there is optimism that Alexander-Arnold might make his initial return to Anfield after joining Los Blancos in the summer.
A lifelong Liverpool supporter, Alexander-Arnold previously remarked that leaving the team he entered as a young youth player was the "most difficult choice he has ever made."
During his time with the Merseyside club, Alexander-Arnold accumulated over 350 appearances, contributing to win multiple English top-flight championships, a European Cup, and the FA Cup.
Since joining to the Spanish capital, Alexander-Arnold has played five times in various tournaments, accumulating over two and a half hours of action.
