Real Madrid's Alexander-Arnold Could Play Against Liverpool in Forthcoming European Match
Real Madrid acquired Trent Alexander-Arnold on a six-year deal
The defender's rehabilitation is advancing well, giving hope that the Madrid defender may be fit soon enough to confront his previous club Liverpool in November's European encounter.
The English international experienced a hamstring problem while playing against Ligue 1 club Marseille in the initial phase of the tournament on September 16.
Alexander-Arnold exited the pitch in the fifth minute, with early estimates indicating a possible absence of up to six weeks.
Real Madrid will travel to face Liverpool on November 4 for the Champions League fixture—precisely over a month since the injury occurred.
Insiders familiar with the player's condition indicate that the defender's healing process is progressing positively, and there is expectation that Alexander-Arnold could make his first return to Anfield after signing for Los Blancos in the summer.
A devoted Liverpool fan, Alexander-Arnold earlier remarked that leaving the club he joined as a young academy player was the "most difficult choice he has ever taken."
During his spell with the Reds, Alexander-Arnold made over 350 appearances, helping secure two English top-flight titles, a European Cup, and the FA Cup.
After moving to Madrid, Alexander-Arnold has featured five times in all competitions, accumulating 156 minutes of action.
