Los Blancos' Alexander-Arnold May Play Against Liverpool in November's European Clash
The Spanish giants acquired Trent Alexander-Arnold on a multi-year agreement
The defender's recovery is moving forward well, giving possibility that the Madrid defender may be fit soon enough to play against his former club Liverpool in November's Champions League match.
The 27-year-old player suffered a hamstring injury during a match against Ligue 1 side Marseille in the initial phase of the tournament on September 16.
Alexander-Arnold was forced off the field in the early stages, with early reports indicating a possible absence of around a month and a half.
Real Madrid are set to face Liverpool on November 4 for the European fixture—exactly seven weeks since the injury took place.
Insiders familiar with the situation state that the player's recovery is advancing well, and there is expectation that Alexander-Arnold may achieve his initial return to Liverpool's stadium since joining Los Blancos in June.
A longtime Liverpool supporter, Alexander-Arnold earlier said that departing from the club he joined as a young youth player was the "most difficult decision he has ever taken."
During his time with the Merseyside club, Alexander-Arnold accumulated 354 games, contributing to win multiple Premier League titles, a European Cup, and the FA Cup.
Since moving to Madrid, Alexander-Arnold has featured five times in various tournaments, accumulating 156 minutes of action.
