Los Blancos' Alexander-Arnold Might Play Against His Former Club in Forthcoming European Match
The Spanish giants signed Trent Alexander-Arnold with a multi-year contract
Trent Alexander-Arnold's recovery is moving forward smoothly, raising a chance that the Madrid defender may return soon enough to face his previous team Liverpool in the upcoming European tie.
The English player sustained a hamstring strain while playing against French club Marseille in the group stage of the tournament on 16 September.
Alexander-Arnold was forced off the pitch in the early stages, with initial reports indicating a possible layoff of as long as six weeks.
Real Madrid are set to play at Liverpool on 4 November for the European fixture—precisely over a month since the injury occurred.
Reports familiar with the player's condition state that the defender's recovery is moving along well, and there is optimism that Alexander-Arnold might make his initial appearance to Anfield after moving to Real Madrid in June.
A devoted Liverpool fan, Alexander-Arnold earlier stated that departing from the team he joined as a six-year-old academy talent was the "toughest decision he's ever taken."
During his time with the Reds, Alexander-Arnold made over 350 games, contributing to secure multiple English top-flight championships, a European Cup, and the FA Cup.
After joining to Madrid, Alexander-Arnold has played five times in various tournaments, totaling over two and a half hours of playing time.
