Real Madrid's Alexander-Arnold Might Face Liverpool in Forthcoming Champions League Match
The Spanish giants brought in Trent Alexander-Arnold with a multi-year contract
The defender's comeback is progressing according to plan, giving a chance that the Madrid right-back could recover soon enough to confront his former team Liverpool in November's Champions League encounter.
The English international sustained a muscle problem during a match against French club Marseille in the group stage of the competition on 16 September.
Alexander-Arnold was forced off the field in the fifth minute, with initial indications indicating a possible layoff of up to six weeks.
Real Madrid are set to play at Liverpool on November 4 for the European fixture—precisely seven weeks after the injury took place.
Reports close to the player's condition indicate that the defender's recovery is progressing positively, and there is optimism that Alexander-Arnold may achieve his initial return to Anfield after signing for Real Madrid in the summer.
A devoted Liverpool supporter, Alexander-Arnold earlier said that departing from the team he joined as a young academy player was the "toughest choice he has ever made."
During his spell with the Reds, Alexander-Arnold accumulated over 350 games, helping secure multiple English top-flight championships, a European Cup, and the domestic cup.
Since moving to the Spanish capital, Alexander-Arnold has featured on five occasions in various tournaments, totaling over two and a half hours of action.
