Real Madrid's Alexander-Arnold Could Play Against Liverpool in Upcoming European Match

Trent Alexander-Arnold's rehabilitation is moving forward well, raising a chance that the Madrid defender might be fit soon enough to confront his old club Liverpool in the upcoming Champions League tie.

The 27-year-old player experienced a hamstring problem while playing against Ligue 1 side Marseille in the initial phase of the tournament on 16 September.

Alexander-Arnold exited the pitch in the early stages, with initial estimates indicating a potential layoff of around a month and a half.

Real Madrid are scheduled to play at Liverpool on November 4 for the Champions League fixture—exactly seven weeks after the incident took place.

Reports familiar with the situation indicate that the defender's comeback is moving along positively, and there is hope that Alexander-Arnold might make his initial return to Anfield after joining Real Madrid in June.

A lifelong Liverpool supporter, Alexander-Arnold previously said that departing from the team he joined as a young youth talent was the "toughest decision he has ever taken."

During his tenure with the Merseyside club, Alexander-Arnold notched 354 appearances, helping win two English top-flight championships, a European Cup, and the FA Cup.

After joining to the Spanish capital, Alexander-Arnold has appeared on five occasions in various tournaments, accumulating over two and a half hours of playing time.
