Los Blancos' Trent Alexander-Arnold Might Play Against His Former Club in Upcoming European Fixture
Real Madrid brought in Trent Alexander-Arnold with a long-term agreement
The defender's rehabilitation is moving forward according to plan, giving possibility that the Real Madrid defender might return soon enough to confront his previous team Liverpool in November's Champions League match.
The English player experienced a muscle problem during a match against French side Marseille in the group stage of the competition on 16 September.
Alexander-Arnold was forced off the field in the fifth minute, with early estimates pointing to a potential layoff of up to a month and a half.
Real Madrid will travel to visit Liverpool on November 4 for the European match—precisely over a month after the injury took place.
Insiders close to the situation state that the player's healing process is moving along favorably, and there is expectation that Alexander-Arnold might make his first appearance to Liverpool's stadium after moving to Los Blancos in June.
A devoted Liverpool supporter, Alexander-Arnold previously remarked that leaving the team he joined as a young youth talent was the "toughest decision he has ever made."
During his time with the Merseyside club, Alexander-Arnold notched 354 appearances, contributing to claim two English top-flight championships, a European Cup, and the domestic cup.
After joining to the Spanish capital, Alexander-Arnold has featured on five occasions across various tournaments, accumulating 156 minutes of action.
