Los Blancos' Alexander-Arnold May Play Against Liverpool in Upcoming European Clash
Real Madrid brought in Trent Alexander-Arnold on a multi-year contract
The defender's rehabilitation is moving forward according to plan, giving possibility that the Madrid defender might be fit in time to face his old club Liverpool in November's Champions League tie.
The English international suffered a hamstring problem while playing against French side Marseille in the initial phase of the tournament on September 16.
Alexander-Arnold had to leave the field in the early stages, with early indications indicating a possible layoff of up to a month and a half.
Real Madrid are set to play at Liverpool on 4 November for the Champions League match—exactly over a month after the injury occurred.
Reports close to the situation suggest that the player's healing process is advancing positively, and there is hope that Alexander-Arnold could achieve his first return to Liverpool's stadium after signing for Real Madrid in June.
A longtime Liverpool fan, Alexander-Arnold earlier remarked that leaving the team he entered as a six-year-old academy player was the "toughest choice he has ever taken."
During his spell with the Merseyside club, Alexander-Arnold notched 354 games, helping claim multiple Premier League championships, a Champions League, and the domestic cup.
Since joining to the Spanish capital, Alexander-Arnold has played on five occasions across all competitions, accumulating over two and a half hours of playing time.
