Los Blancos' Alexander-Arnold Could Play Against Liverpool in Forthcoming European Fixture
Real Madrid acquired Trent Alexander-Arnold on a six-year contract
The defender's comeback is progressing smoothly, giving a chance that the Real Madrid defender might return soon enough to play against his previous team Liverpool in November's Champions League tie.
The English international experienced a muscle injury during a match against French club Marseille in the initial phase of the competition on 16 September.
Alexander-Arnold had to leave the field in the early stages, with early reports suggesting a potential layoff of around a month and a half.
Real Madrid are set to play at Liverpool on November 4 for the European match—precisely over a month after the injury took place.
Insiders close to the situation indicate that the player's recovery is moving along positively, and there is optimism that Alexander-Arnold might achieve his initial return to Liverpool's stadium after joining Real Madrid in June.
A longtime Liverpool supporter, Alexander-Arnold earlier stated that departing from the club he entered as a six-year-old youth player was the "toughest decision he's ever made."
During his tenure with the Reds, Alexander-Arnold accumulated over 350 games, contributing to secure multiple English top-flight titles, a European Cup, and the domestic cup.
After moving to Madrid, Alexander-Arnold has appeared five times in various tournaments, logging 156 minutes of game time.
Injury Status
- Alexander-Arnold might miss six weeks due to his hamstring issue
- The club paid Liverpool to secure Alexander-Arnold sooner than planned
- The Englishman faces a challenge for his spot at both Real Madrid and international football
