Los Blancos' Trent Alexander-Arnold Might Play Against Liverpool in Forthcoming Champions League Match
The Spanish giants acquired Trent Alexander-Arnold on a six-year contract
Trent Alexander-Arnold's rehabilitation is moving forward smoothly, raising a chance that the Real Madrid defender might be fit in time to confront his previous team Liverpool in the upcoming Champions League encounter.
The English international experienced a hamstring injury during a match against Ligue 1 club Marseille in the initial phase of the tournament on 16 September.
Alexander-Arnold was forced off the pitch in the early stages, with initial indications suggesting a possible absence of around six weeks.
Real Madrid are set to visit Liverpool on 4 November for the European fixture—just over a month after the incident happened.
Reports close to the situation suggest that the player's healing process is moving along favorably, and there is optimism that Alexander-Arnold may make his first comeback to Liverpool's stadium since moving to Los Blancos in the summer.
A devoted Liverpool supporter, Alexander-Arnold earlier stated that leaving the club he entered as a six-year-old academy talent was the "toughest decision he's ever taken."
During his tenure with the Reds, Alexander-Arnold notched over 350 appearances, contributing to win two English top-flight titles, a Champions League, and the domestic cup.
After his transfer to Madrid, Alexander-Arnold has featured on five occasions across various tournaments, accumulating over two and a half hours of action.
Injury Status
- The defender may miss six weeks because of injury
