Los Blancos' Trent Alexander-Arnold Could Return to Face Liverpool in November's European Fixture
The Spanish giants signed Trent Alexander-Arnold with a multi-year deal
The defender's rehabilitation is moving forward according to plan, giving hope that the Real Madrid defender may be fit soon enough to play against his previous club Liverpool in November's Champions League encounter.
The English player experienced a hamstring strain while playing against Ligue 1 club Marseille in the group stage of the competition on September 16.
Alexander-Arnold was forced off the field in the early stages, with early reports pointing to a potential absence of up to a month and a half.
Real Madrid will travel to play at Liverpool on November 4 for the European fixture—precisely seven weeks since the incident happened.
Sources familiar with the player's condition state that the defender's healing process is advancing well, and there is optimism that Alexander-Arnold could achieve his first appearance to Anfield after signing for Los Blancos in the summer.
A longtime Liverpool fan, Alexander-Arnold earlier said that leaving the team he joined as a six-year-old academy player was the "toughest choice he has ever made."
During his spell with the Merseyside club, Alexander-Arnold made over 350 appearances, helping win multiple English top-flight titles, a European Cup, and the FA Cup.
After joining to the Spanish capital, Alexander-Arnold has played on five occasions in various tournaments, accumulating 156 minutes of action.
