Los Blancos' Trent Alexander-Arnold Could Face Liverpool in Upcoming European Fixture

The defender's recovery is moving forward well, giving possibility that the Madrid defender might recover soon enough to face his former team Liverpool in the upcoming European match.

The English player suffered a hamstring problem while playing against French club Marseille in the initial phase of the competition on 16 September.

Alexander-Arnold exited the field in the early stages, with initial indications pointing to a possible absence of up to a month and a half.

Real Madrid are scheduled to play at Liverpool on 4 November for the Champions League match—precisely over a month since the injury occurred.

Sources close to the player's condition state that the defender's healing process is moving along favorably, and there is expectation that Alexander-Arnold might make his initial comeback to Anfield since moving to Real Madrid in June.

A longtime Liverpool fan, Alexander-Arnold earlier said that leaving the team he joined as a young academy player was the "most difficult decision he has ever taken."

During his tenure with the Merseyside club, Alexander-Arnold notched over 350 appearances, contributing to secure two English top-flight titles, a European Cup, and the domestic cup.

Since moving to Madrid, Alexander-Arnold has played five times in all competitions, accumulating 156 minutes of playing time.
