Los Blancos' Alexander-Arnold Could Face His Former Club in Upcoming Champions League Fixture
Real Madrid signed Trent Alexander-Arnold on a multi-year deal
The defender's rehabilitation is progressing according to plan, raising hope that the Madrid right-back could return soon enough to confront his former club Liverpool in November's European tie.
The 27-year-old player experienced a muscle problem while playing against French side Marseille in the initial phase of the competition on September 16.
Alexander-Arnold exited the pitch in the early stages, with early estimates pointing to a potential absence of around 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 since the injury took place.
Sources close to the situation suggest that the defender's healing process is advancing positively, and there is hope that Alexander-Arnold could achieve his initial comeback to Liverpool's stadium since joining Real Madrid in June.
A devoted Liverpool supporter, Alexander-Arnold earlier remarked that departing from the team he joined as a young academy player was the "toughest decision he has ever made."
During his spell with the Merseyside club, Alexander-Arnold accumulated over 350 appearances, helping claim multiple Premier League championships, a European Cup, and the FA Cup.
Since his transfer to Madrid, Alexander-Arnold has played five times across various tournaments, logging 156 minutes of action.
