Los Blancos' Trent Alexander-Arnold Could Face His Former Club in November's European Fixture
Real Madrid signed Trent Alexander-Arnold with a multi-year contract
Trent Alexander-Arnold's rehabilitation is progressing according to plan, raising a chance that the Madrid defender might be fit soon enough to confront his previous team Liverpool in the upcoming European tie.
The 27-year-old player sustained a hamstring injury during a match against French club Marseille in the initial phase of the competition on 16 September.
Alexander-Arnold exited the field in the fifth minute, with early reports pointing to a potential layoff of up to six weeks.
Real Madrid will travel to visit Liverpool on 4 November for the European fixture—exactly over a month since the incident happened.
Insiders close to the situation state that the player's recovery is progressing favorably, and there is optimism that Alexander-Arnold could achieve his first comeback to Liverpool's stadium since moving to Los Blancos in the summer.
A lifelong Liverpool supporter, Alexander-Arnold previously said that leaving the team he joined as a six-year-old academy player was the "toughest decision he's ever made."
During his tenure with the Merseyside club, Alexander-Arnold notched 354 appearances, contributing to secure multiple Premier League championships, a Champions League, and the domestic cup.
Since joining to Madrid, Alexander-Arnold has featured on five occasions across various tournaments, totaling over two and a half hours of action.
