Los Blancos' Trent Alexander-Arnold May Play Against His Former Club in Forthcoming Champions League Match
The Spanish giants acquired Trent Alexander-Arnold with a multi-year agreement
Trent Alexander-Arnold's rehabilitation is moving forward well, giving hope that the Madrid right-back may recover soon enough to confront his old team Liverpool in the upcoming European match.
The 27-year-old player sustained a muscle strain during a match against French side Marseille in the initial phase of the competition on September 16.
Alexander-Arnold exited the pitch in the fifth minute, with early indications suggesting a potential layoff of around a month and a half.
Real Madrid are scheduled to visit Liverpool on 4 November for the European match—exactly seven weeks since the incident happened.
Sources close to the player's condition suggest that the defender's comeback is moving along favorably, and there is optimism that Alexander-Arnold could make his initial comeback to Anfield since signing for Los Blancos in June.
A devoted Liverpool fan, Alexander-Arnold previously said that leaving the team he joined as a young youth talent was the "hardest decision he's ever taken."
During his time with the Merseyside club, Alexander-Arnold notched over 350 games, contributing to secure multiple Premier League championships, a Champions League, and the domestic cup.
After joining to Madrid, Alexander-Arnold has appeared on five occasions in all competitions, logging 156 minutes of action.
