Los Blancos' Alexander-Arnold Could Play Against Liverpool in Upcoming European Clash
The Spanish giants signed Trent Alexander-Arnold with a six-year agreement
The defender's rehabilitation is moving forward according to plan, giving hope that the Real Madrid right-back could return in time to play against his former team Liverpool in November's European match.
The English player suffered a hamstring injury during a match against French club Marseille in the group stage of the competition on September 16.
Alexander-Arnold exited the field in the fifth minute, with early reports pointing to a potential layoff of as long as six weeks.
Real Madrid are scheduled to visit Liverpool on November 4 for the Champions League fixture—just over a month since the injury happened.
Sources close to the player's condition state that the player's healing process is progressing favorably, and there is hope that Alexander-Arnold might make his first appearance to Liverpool's stadium since signing for Real Madrid in the summer.
A devoted Liverpool supporter, Alexander-Arnold earlier said that departing from the team he entered as a six-year-old youth player was the "most difficult decision he's ever made."
During his time with the Merseyside club, Alexander-Arnold notched 354 appearances, contributing to secure multiple English top-flight championships, a Champions League, and the domestic cup.
Since joining to the Spanish capital, Alexander-Arnold has featured on five occasions across all competitions, logging 156 minutes of game time.
