Real Madrid's Alexander-Arnold May Return to Face Liverpool in Forthcoming European Match

The English defender training — The Spanish giants brought in Trent Alexander-Arnold with a long-term deal

The defender's comeback is advancing well, giving a chance that the Madrid defender might recover in time to play against his former club Liverpool in the upcoming Champions League encounter.

The English player suffered a hamstring problem during a match against Ligue 1 club Marseille in the initial phase of the tournament on 16 September.

Alexander-Arnold exited the field in the early stages, with early estimates indicating a possible layoff of around a month and a half.

Real Madrid are set to play at Liverpool on 4 November for the Champions League fixture—just over a month after the injury took place.

Reports close to the player's condition state that the defender's recovery is progressing positively, and there is expectation that Alexander-Arnold may achieve his initial appearance to Anfield after joining Real Madrid in the summer.

A devoted Liverpool fan, Alexander-Arnold earlier stated that departing from the team he entered as a young academy player was the "most difficult choice he has ever made."

During his time with the Reds, Alexander-Arnold notched 354 games, contributing to win multiple English top-flight titles, a European Cup, and the FA Cup.

After joining to Madrid, Alexander-Arnold has appeared on five occasions across various tournaments, accumulating over two and a half hours of action.
