Los Blancos' Alexander-Arnold Might Face Liverpool in Upcoming European Clash
The Spanish giants brought in Trent Alexander-Arnold on a long-term agreement
The defender's recovery is advancing smoothly, giving hope that the Madrid right-back may recover in time to play against his previous club Liverpool in November's European match.
The English player suffered a muscle problem while playing against Ligue 1 club Marseille in the initial phase of the tournament on 16 September.
Alexander-Arnold was forced off the pitch in the early stages, with early reports indicating a possible absence of up to six weeks.
Real Madrid will travel to play at Liverpool on November 4 for the Champions League fixture—precisely seven weeks since the incident occurred.
Insiders close to the player's condition suggest that the defender's comeback is advancing positively, and there is expectation that Alexander-Arnold might achieve his first appearance to Liverpool's stadium after moving to Los Blancos in the summer.
A devoted Liverpool supporter, Alexander-Arnold earlier remarked that leaving the team he joined as a six-year-old youth talent was the "toughest choice he has ever taken."
During his time with the Merseyside club, Alexander-Arnold accumulated 354 appearances, helping secure two English top-flight titles, a Champions League, and the domestic cup.
Since joining to the Spanish capital, Alexander-Arnold has featured five times across all competitions, accumulating over two and a half hours of action.
