Real Madrid's Alexander-Arnold May Face Liverpool in Forthcoming European Fixture
The Spanish giants signed Trent Alexander-Arnold on a multi-year contract
The defender's comeback is moving forward smoothly, raising a chance that the Real Madrid defender may return soon enough to play against his old team Liverpool in the upcoming European match.
The 27-year-old international experienced a hamstring strain during a match against Ligue 1 side Marseille in the group stage of the tournament on 16 September.
Alexander-Arnold was forced off the field in the fifth minute, with early reports pointing to a possible absence of as long as six weeks.
Real Madrid are set to face Liverpool on November 4 for the Champions League fixture—precisely over a month after the injury took place.
Reports close to the player's condition indicate that the player's comeback is moving along positively, and there is optimism that Alexander-Arnold may achieve his first return to Anfield after signing for Real Madrid in the summer.
A devoted Liverpool supporter, Alexander-Arnold earlier remarked that leaving the club he entered as a young youth talent was the "hardest decision he has ever taken."
During his spell with the Merseyside club, Alexander-Arnold notched 354 appearances, helping win two English top-flight championships, a Champions League, and the domestic cup.
Since his transfer to Madrid, Alexander-Arnold has played five times in all competitions, accumulating 156 minutes of action.
