Los Blancos' Trent Alexander-Arnold May Play Against Liverpool in Forthcoming European Fixture
The Spanish giants brought in Trent Alexander-Arnold with a multi-year contract
The defender's rehabilitation is moving forward according to plan, giving possibility that the Madrid defender may recover in time to play against his old team Liverpool in the upcoming Champions League tie.
The 27-year-old player sustained 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 field in the fifth minute, with initial estimates pointing to a potential layoff of up to six weeks.
Real Madrid will travel to face Liverpool on November 4 for the Champions League match—precisely seven weeks after the injury took place.
Reports close to the player's condition indicate that the defender's healing process is advancing well, and there is expectation that Alexander-Arnold might make his initial appearance to Anfield after signing for Los Blancos in the summer.
A devoted Liverpool supporter, Alexander-Arnold previously remarked that leaving the club he entered as a young youth player was the "most difficult decision he's ever taken."
During his spell with the Merseyside club, Alexander-Arnold notched over 350 games, contributing to win multiple Premier League titles, a Champions League, and the domestic cup.
After his transfer to Madrid, Alexander-Arnold has featured five times across various tournaments, logging 156 minutes of game time.
