Real Madrid's Alexander-Arnold Could Return to Face His Former Club in November's European Fixture
The Spanish giants brought in Trent Alexander-Arnold on a six-year deal
Trent Alexander-Arnold's rehabilitation is progressing well, raising hope that the Madrid right-back might recover in time to play against his former club Liverpool in November's European match.
The 27-year-old player suffered a hamstring problem while playing against Ligue 1 side Marseille in the initial phase of the tournament on September 16.
Alexander-Arnold had to leave the pitch in the early stages, with initial reports indicating a potential layoff of up to six weeks.
Real Madrid are set to visit Liverpool on November 4 for the European match—just over a month after the injury occurred.
Insiders familiar with the player's condition suggest that the player's healing process is advancing positively, and there is expectation that Alexander-Arnold might achieve his first return to Anfield after joining Real Madrid in June.
A longtime Liverpool supporter, Alexander-Arnold previously said that leaving the team he entered as a six-year-old youth player was the "toughest decision he's ever taken."
During his tenure with the Merseyside club, Alexander-Arnold notched over 350 games, contributing to claim multiple Premier League titles, a European Cup, and the domestic cup.
Since joining to the Spanish capital, Alexander-Arnold has played five times in various tournaments, logging 156 minutes of action.
