Los Blancos' Alexander-Arnold Might Face Liverpool in November's European Fixture
The Spanish giants signed Trent Alexander-Arnold on a six-year agreement
Trent Alexander-Arnold's recovery is moving forward smoothly, giving possibility that the Real Madrid right-back might return soon enough to face his old team Liverpool in November's Champions League encounter.
The English player sustained a hamstring injury during a match against Ligue 1 side Marseille in the initial phase of the competition on September 16.
Alexander-Arnold exited the field in the early stages, with early estimates suggesting a potential absence of up to a month and a half.
Real Madrid are set to face Liverpool on November 4 for the Champions League match—exactly over a month after the incident took place.
Sources close to the player's condition indicate that the player's healing process is advancing well, and there is optimism that Alexander-Arnold may achieve his first appearance to Anfield after signing for Real Madrid in June.
A lifelong Liverpool fan, Alexander-Arnold previously stated that departing from the club he joined as a young academy talent was the "hardest decision he's ever made."
During his tenure with the Reds, Alexander-Arnold accumulated over 350 games, helping claim two Premier League championships, a Champions League, and the FA Cup.
After moving to Madrid, Alexander-Arnold has played on five occasions in all competitions, totaling 156 minutes of action.
