Los Blancos' Alexander-Arnold Might Face Liverpool in November's Champions League Fixture
Real Madrid brought in Trent Alexander-Arnold with a multi-year agreement
Trent Alexander-Arnold's recovery is progressing well, raising a chance that the Real Madrid defender may be fit in time to confront his previous team Liverpool in the upcoming European match.
The 27-year-old international sustained a hamstring problem while playing against French side Marseille in the initial phase of the competition on September 16.
Alexander-Arnold had to leave the pitch in the early stages, with early reports suggesting a potential absence of up to six weeks.
Real Madrid are set to face Liverpool on 4 November for the Champions League fixture—precisely over a month after the injury happened.
Insiders close to the player's condition suggest that the player's comeback is advancing positively, and there is optimism that Alexander-Arnold may make his initial appearance to Anfield after moving to Real Madrid in June.
A lifelong Liverpool supporter, Alexander-Arnold previously said that leaving the club he entered as a young youth talent was the "hardest decision he's ever made."
During his tenure with the Merseyside club, Alexander-Arnold notched over 350 games, helping win multiple Premier League championships, a Champions League, and the domestic cup.
After joining to the Spanish capital, Alexander-Arnold has featured on five occasions across various tournaments, totaling 156 minutes of game time.
Injury Status
- The defender may miss a month and a half due to his hamstring issue
- The club paid Liverpool to secure Alexander-Arnold sooner than planned
- The Englishman faces a battle for his place at both club and country football
