Los Blancos' Alexander-Arnold Could Play Against Liverpool in Forthcoming Champions League Clash
The Spanish giants acquired Trent Alexander-Arnold on a six-year deal
Trent Alexander-Arnold's recovery is progressing smoothly, giving possibility that the Real Madrid defender might recover in time to confront his previous team Liverpool in November's Champions League tie.
The English international suffered a hamstring injury while playing against Ligue 1 side Marseille in the initial phase of the tournament on September 16.
Alexander-Arnold was forced off the pitch in the early stages, with early estimates pointing to a possible layoff of around a month and a half.
Real Madrid are scheduled to visit Liverpool on November 4 for the Champions League match—precisely over a month after the incident took place.
Reports close to the player's condition suggest that the player's healing process is moving along favorably, and there is optimism that Alexander-Arnold might make his first return to Liverpool's stadium after signing for Los Blancos in the summer.
A devoted Liverpool supporter, Alexander-Arnold previously said that leaving the club he joined as a young academy talent was the "hardest choice he has ever taken."
During his time with the Reds, Alexander-Arnold notched 354 games, helping win two English top-flight titles, a European Cup, and the FA Cup.
Since moving to Madrid, Alexander-Arnold has played on five occasions in all competitions, accumulating 156 minutes of action.
