Los Blancos' Alexander-Arnold May Play Against His Former Club in Forthcoming European Fixture
The Spanish giants brought in Trent Alexander-Arnold on a six-year agreement
The defender's comeback is advancing according to plan, giving possibility that the Madrid right-back might recover in time to face his previous team Liverpool in November's Champions League tie.
The 27-year-old international suffered a muscle problem while playing against Ligue 1 club Marseille in the group stage of the tournament on September 16.
Alexander-Arnold was forced off the pitch in the fifth minute, with initial reports pointing to a possible absence of around a month and a half.
Real Madrid will travel to visit Liverpool on 4 November for the Champions League match—precisely seven weeks after the incident occurred.
Sources close to the situation indicate that the player's comeback is progressing positively, and there is optimism that Alexander-Arnold may make his initial return to Anfield after signing for Los Blancos in June.
A devoted Liverpool fan, Alexander-Arnold previously said that leaving the club he entered as a six-year-old academy player was the "toughest choice he's ever taken."
During his tenure with the Merseyside club, Alexander-Arnold accumulated 354 games, contributing to claim multiple Premier League titles, a European Cup, and the domestic cup.
Since moving to the Spanish capital, Alexander-Arnold has appeared on five occasions across all competitions, logging 156 minutes of action.
