Los Blancos' Alexander-Arnold May Play Against His Former Club in Upcoming Champions League Fixture
The Spanish giants acquired Trent Alexander-Arnold with a multi-year deal
The defender's recovery is moving forward according to plan, giving a chance that the Madrid defender could be fit soon enough to play against his old team Liverpool in the upcoming Champions League encounter.
The English international suffered a hamstring injury while playing against French side Marseille in the group stage of the competition on 16 September.
Alexander-Arnold had to leave the pitch in the early stages, with early reports suggesting a possible absence of around a month and a half.
Real Madrid will travel to face Liverpool on 4 November for the European fixture—just over a month since the injury occurred.
Insiders close to the player's condition indicate that the player's comeback is moving along favorably, and there is hope that Alexander-Arnold could make his first appearance to Liverpool's stadium after signing for Los Blancos in the summer.
A devoted Liverpool fan, Alexander-Arnold previously remarked that leaving the club he joined as a young youth player was the "toughest decision he has ever made."
During his tenure with the Merseyside club, Alexander-Arnold made 354 appearances, helping win two English top-flight championships, a Champions League, and the domestic cup.
After his transfer to Madrid, Alexander-Arnold has played five times across various tournaments, totaling 156 minutes of playing time.
