Real Madrid's Alexander-Arnold May Play Against Liverpool in November's Champions League Clash
The Spanish giants signed Trent Alexander-Arnold with a long-term deal
The defender's recovery is progressing smoothly, raising hope that the Real Madrid defender could return soon enough to confront his old club Liverpool in the upcoming European encounter.
The English player experienced a muscle strain while playing against Ligue 1 side Marseille in the group stage of the competition on 16 September.
Alexander-Arnold had to leave the field in the early stages, with initial estimates indicating a potential absence of up to six weeks.
Real Madrid will travel to play at Liverpool on November 4 for the Champions League match—precisely seven weeks since the incident took place.
Reports close to the player's condition suggest that the player's recovery is moving along favorably, and there is hope that Alexander-Arnold could achieve his initial return to Liverpool's stadium after signing for Los Blancos in June.
A devoted Liverpool fan, Alexander-Arnold earlier stated that leaving the team he joined as a young academy talent was the "most difficult decision he has ever taken."
During his tenure with the Merseyside club, Alexander-Arnold accumulated over 350 appearances, contributing to secure multiple English top-flight championships, a Champions League, and the domestic cup.
After moving to the Spanish capital, Alexander-Arnold has appeared on five occasions in all competitions, accumulating over two and a half hours of playing time.
