Real Madrid's Trent Alexander-Arnold May Face His Former Club in Upcoming Champions League Fixture
The Spanish giants signed Trent Alexander-Arnold with a six-year agreement
The defender's rehabilitation is moving forward well, raising a chance that the Madrid right-back might return soon enough to confront his old club Liverpool in the upcoming European encounter.
The English international experienced a hamstring injury while playing against Ligue 1 club Marseille in the initial phase of the competition on September 16.
Alexander-Arnold was forced off the field in the fifth minute, with initial indications suggesting a possible absence of as long as six weeks.
Real Madrid are scheduled to face Liverpool on November 4 for the European fixture—precisely over a month after the incident happened.
Sources close to the player's condition suggest that the defender's healing process is advancing well, and there is hope that Alexander-Arnold might achieve his initial comeback to Liverpool's stadium since joining Los Blancos in June.
A longtime Liverpool fan, Alexander-Arnold previously stated that leaving the team he joined as a six-year-old youth player was the "hardest decision he has ever taken."
During his time with the Merseyside club, Alexander-Arnold accumulated over 350 games, contributing to claim two English top-flight titles, a Champions League, and the domestic cup.
After joining to Madrid, Alexander-Arnold has featured five times in all competitions, logging over two and a half hours of action.
