Real Madrid's Trent Alexander-Arnold Might Play Against Liverpool in Upcoming European Match
Real Madrid signed Trent Alexander-Arnold on a long-term deal
Trent Alexander-Arnold's recovery is advancing according to plan, giving hope that the Real Madrid right-back may recover soon enough to confront his previous team Liverpool in the upcoming European encounter.
The English international sustained a muscle strain during a match against French side Marseille in the initial phase of the competition on September 16.
Alexander-Arnold exited the field in the fifth minute, with early indications indicating a possible absence of around six weeks.
Real Madrid will travel to face Liverpool on 4 November for the Champions League fixture—just over a month after the injury took place.
Reports close to the player's condition suggest that the player's healing process is progressing positively, and there is expectation that Alexander-Arnold might achieve his first return to Liverpool's stadium after moving to Los Blancos in the summer.
A devoted Liverpool supporter, Alexander-Arnold earlier remarked that departing from the team he entered as a six-year-old youth talent was the "hardest choice he has ever taken."
During his spell with the Reds, Alexander-Arnold accumulated over 350 appearances, contributing to win two English top-flight titles, a Champions League, and the FA Cup.
After his transfer to the Spanish capital, Alexander-Arnold has appeared five times across all competitions, totaling over two and a half hours of action.
