Los Blancos' Alexander-Arnold Could Play Against Liverpool in November's European Clash
Real Madrid signed Trent Alexander-Arnold on a long-term deal
The defender's recovery is moving forward well, giving hope that the Real Madrid defender might return in time to play against his former team Liverpool in the upcoming European match.
The English player suffered a hamstring strain while playing against Ligue 1 club Marseille in the initial phase of the tournament on 16 September.
Alexander-Arnold had to leave the field in the fifth minute, with early reports indicating a potential absence of around a month and a half.
Real Madrid are set to visit Liverpool on November 4 for the European match—precisely seven weeks since the incident happened.
Sources close to the player's condition indicate that the player's comeback is progressing positively, and there is optimism that Alexander-Arnold might make his first appearance to Liverpool's stadium since joining Real Madrid in June.
A devoted Liverpool fan, Alexander-Arnold earlier remarked that leaving the club he joined as a six-year-old academy talent was the "hardest decision he's ever made."
During his time with the Reds, Alexander-Arnold accumulated 354 appearances, contributing to win two Premier League titles, a European Cup, and the domestic cup.
Since joining to Madrid, Alexander-Arnold has appeared on five occasions across all competitions, logging 156 minutes of action.
