Los Blancos' Alexander-Arnold Could Face His Former Club in Forthcoming European Match
The Spanish giants brought in Trent Alexander-Arnold with a multi-year deal
Trent Alexander-Arnold's comeback is progressing well, giving possibility that the Madrid defender could recover in time to face his previous team Liverpool in the upcoming European encounter.
The 27-year-old international experienced a muscle problem during a match against Ligue 1 side Marseille in the group stage of the tournament on September 16.
Alexander-Arnold had to leave the pitch in the fifth minute, with early estimates indicating a possible layoff of up to six weeks.
Real Madrid are scheduled to face Liverpool on November 4 for the European match—precisely seven weeks after the incident happened.
Reports close to the situation suggest that the player's healing process is advancing well, and there is optimism that Alexander-Arnold might achieve his first appearance to Anfield since signing for Los Blancos in June.
A longtime Liverpool supporter, Alexander-Arnold earlier stated that departing from the team he entered as a young youth player was the "most difficult choice he has ever taken."
During his tenure with the Reds, Alexander-Arnold notched 354 games, contributing to secure multiple Premier League titles, a European Cup, and the FA Cup.
Since moving to the Spanish capital, Alexander-Arnold has played on five occasions across all competitions, accumulating 156 minutes of action.
