Los Blancos' Alexander-Arnold May Play Against Liverpool in Forthcoming European Clash
The Spanish giants acquired Trent Alexander-Arnold on a long-term deal
The defender's comeback is progressing smoothly, giving possibility that the Real Madrid right-back may be fit in time to play against his former team Liverpool in the upcoming European match.
The English player experienced a muscle injury during a match against Ligue 1 club Marseille in the initial phase of the competition on September 16.
Alexander-Arnold exited the pitch in the early stages, with early estimates indicating a possible absence of around a month and a half.
Real Madrid will travel to visit Liverpool on November 4 for the Champions League match—precisely over a month since the injury took place.
Reports familiar with the situation suggest that the player's recovery is advancing well, and there is optimism that Alexander-Arnold may achieve his initial comeback to Anfield after moving to Los Blancos in June.
A longtime Liverpool supporter, Alexander-Arnold previously said that departing from the team he entered as a six-year-old academy talent was the "toughest choice he's ever made."
During his time with the Merseyside club, Alexander-Arnold accumulated 354 games, helping win multiple English top-flight titles, a European Cup, and the FA Cup.
After his transfer to the Spanish capital, Alexander-Arnold has featured five times in all competitions, accumulating over two and a half hours of playing time.
