Los Blancos' Alexander-Arnold May Return to Face Liverpool in Upcoming European Fixture
The Spanish giants signed Trent Alexander-Arnold with a six-year deal
Trent Alexander-Arnold's comeback is progressing smoothly, giving possibility that the Madrid defender could return soon enough to confront his old team Liverpool in the upcoming European match.
The English international experienced a hamstring strain during a match against Ligue 1 side Marseille in the initial phase of the tournament on September 16.
Alexander-Arnold was forced off the pitch in the early stages, with early indications suggesting a potential layoff of around a month and a half.
Real Madrid are scheduled to visit Liverpool on November 4 for the Champions League fixture—just seven weeks since the incident took place.
Sources close to the player's condition indicate that the player's healing process is moving along well, and there is expectation that Alexander-Arnold may achieve his first appearance to Liverpool's stadium after moving to Los Blancos in June.
A lifelong Liverpool fan, Alexander-Arnold earlier said that leaving the team he joined as a six-year-old academy talent was the "hardest decision he has ever taken."
During his spell with the Reds, Alexander-Arnold notched over 350 appearances, contributing to win two Premier League championships, a Champions League, and the domestic cup.
After moving to Madrid, Alexander-Arnold has appeared five times across various tournaments, accumulating over two and a half hours of playing time.
