Los Blancos' Trent Alexander-Arnold Could Face His Former Club in November's Champions League Fixture
The Spanish giants signed Trent Alexander-Arnold with a long-term agreement
Trent Alexander-Arnold's comeback is advancing well, raising hope that the Madrid defender might return soon enough to play against his old team Liverpool in the upcoming Champions League tie.
The 27-year-old player experienced a muscle strain during a match against Ligue 1 club Marseille in the group stage of the tournament on September 16.
Alexander-Arnold exited the field in the early stages, with initial indications suggesting a possible absence of around a month and a half.
Real Madrid are set to visit Liverpool on 4 November for the Champions League match—precisely seven weeks since the injury took place.
Reports familiar with the player's condition suggest that the player's recovery is advancing positively, and there is expectation that Alexander-Arnold might achieve his initial return to Anfield since signing for Los Blancos in June.
A devoted Liverpool supporter, Alexander-Arnold previously said that leaving the team he joined as a young academy player was the "most difficult choice he has ever made."
During his tenure with the Merseyside club, Alexander-Arnold made over 350 games, helping win two Premier League titles, a Champions League, and the domestic cup.
After his transfer to the Spanish capital, Alexander-Arnold has appeared on five occasions across various tournaments, totaling 156 minutes of game time.
