Los Blancos' Alexander-Arnold Could Return to Face Liverpool in Upcoming Champions League Fixture

Trent Alexander-Arnold's rehabilitation is moving forward well, giving a chance that the Real Madrid right-back might recover soon enough to confront his previous club Liverpool in the upcoming European encounter.

The 27-year-old player sustained a hamstring strain during a match against Ligue 1 side Marseille in the group stage of the competition on September 16.

Alexander-Arnold had to leave the field in the fifth minute, with initial reports indicating a possible layoff of around a month and a half.

Real Madrid will travel to face Liverpool on 4 November for the Champions League match—exactly over a month after the injury took place.

Sources familiar with the player's condition state that the player's recovery is progressing well, and there is expectation that Alexander-Arnold may achieve his first return to Anfield since moving to Los Blancos in the summer.

A lifelong Liverpool fan, Alexander-Arnold previously remarked that leaving the club he entered as a young youth player was the "hardest choice he's ever made."

During his spell with the Merseyside club, Alexander-Arnold notched 354 games, helping win two Premier League titles, a European Cup, and the domestic cup.

After joining to Madrid, Alexander-Arnold has appeared five times across all competitions, accumulating 156 minutes of game time.
