Real Madrid's Trent Alexander-Arnold May Play Against His Former Club in November's European Clash
The Spanish giants signed Trent Alexander-Arnold on a six-year agreement
Trent Alexander-Arnold's comeback is advancing smoothly, raising hope that the Madrid right-back could be fit soon enough to face his previous team Liverpool in the upcoming European match.
The 27-year-old player suffered a hamstring injury during a match against French club Marseille in the group stage of the competition on September 16.
Alexander-Arnold was forced off the pitch in the early stages, with initial indications suggesting a possible absence of as long as a month and a half.
Real Madrid will travel to play at Liverpool on November 4 for the European fixture—just seven weeks since the injury occurred.
Insiders close to the situation state that the defender's comeback is advancing favorably, and there is optimism that Alexander-Arnold might achieve his initial comeback to Liverpool's stadium after joining Real Madrid in June.
A longtime Liverpool supporter, Alexander-Arnold earlier remarked that departing from the club he joined as a six-year-old academy talent was the "hardest choice he has ever made."
During his spell with the Reds, Alexander-Arnold made over 350 games, contributing to secure multiple English top-flight titles, a European Cup, and the domestic cup.
After his transfer to Madrid, Alexander-Arnold has played on five occasions across various tournaments, totaling over two and a half hours of game time.
