Real Madrid's Trent Alexander-Arnold Might Face Liverpool in November's Champions League Clash
Real Madrid acquired Trent Alexander-Arnold on a multi-year contract
The defender's rehabilitation is advancing smoothly, giving possibility that the Real Madrid defender might return in time to play against his former team Liverpool in the upcoming Champions League encounter.
The English international sustained a hamstring 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 fifth minute, with early reports indicating a possible absence of around six weeks.
Real Madrid are set to visit Liverpool on 4 November for the Champions League fixture—just seven weeks after the injury took place.
Reports close to the situation indicate that the defender's recovery is advancing positively, and there is hope that Alexander-Arnold may achieve his initial appearance to Liverpool's stadium since moving to Los Blancos in June.
A longtime Liverpool fan, Alexander-Arnold previously said that leaving the club he entered as a young academy talent was the "toughest decision he has ever taken."
During his time with the Merseyside club, Alexander-Arnold made over 350 games, contributing to claim two Premier League titles, a Champions League, and the FA Cup.
After moving to the Spanish capital, Alexander-Arnold has played five times across various tournaments, accumulating 156 minutes of playing time.
