Los Blancos' Trent Alexander-Arnold Could Play Against Liverpool in Forthcoming European Match
The Spanish giants brought in Trent Alexander-Arnold on a multi-year contract
The defender's recovery is progressing smoothly, giving a chance that the Madrid defender may recover in time to play against his former club Liverpool in November's European tie.
The English player sustained a muscle problem during a match against Ligue 1 side Marseille in the initial phase of the tournament on September 16.
Alexander-Arnold had to leave the field in the fifth minute, with initial reports indicating a potential layoff of as long as six weeks.
Real Madrid are scheduled to play at Liverpool on November 4 for the European fixture—exactly seven weeks since the injury occurred.
Reports close to the situation state that the player's healing process is advancing positively, and there is hope that Alexander-Arnold might achieve his first appearance to Liverpool's stadium after moving to Real Madrid in the summer.
A lifelong Liverpool fan, Alexander-Arnold previously stated that departing from the team he joined as a six-year-old youth player was the "hardest decision he has ever made."
During his tenure with the Reds, Alexander-Arnold accumulated over 350 games, contributing to claim two Premier League titles, a European Cup, and the FA Cup.
Since his transfer to Madrid, Alexander-Arnold has appeared five times across various tournaments, logging 156 minutes of game time.
