Los Blancos' Alexander-Arnold Could Play Against His Former Club in November's European Fixture
Real Madrid acquired Trent Alexander-Arnold on a long-term contract
The defender's rehabilitation is moving forward according to plan, raising hope that the Real Madrid right-back may recover in time to confront his old club Liverpool in November's European match.
The English player suffered a hamstring injury while playing against French club Marseille in the group stage of the competition on 16 September.
Alexander-Arnold exited the field in the fifth minute, with initial reports suggesting a possible absence of around six weeks.
Real Madrid are set to visit Liverpool on 4 November for the Champions League match—exactly seven weeks since the incident took place.
Reports familiar with the situation state that the player's comeback is advancing positively, and there is hope that Alexander-Arnold may make his initial comeback to Anfield after signing for Real Madrid in June.
A devoted Liverpool supporter, Alexander-Arnold previously stated that departing from the club he joined as a six-year-old youth talent was the "toughest decision he has ever taken."
During his spell with the Merseyside club, Alexander-Arnold notched 354 appearances, contributing to claim multiple Premier League titles, a Champions League, and the domestic cup.
Since his transfer to the Spanish capital, Alexander-Arnold has featured five times in all competitions, logging 156 minutes of action.
