Los Blancos' Trent Alexander-Arnold Might Face His Former Club in Forthcoming Champions League Fixture

Trent Alexander-Arnold's comeback is advancing well, raising a chance that the Madrid right-back might be fit soon enough to confront his old club Liverpool in the upcoming European match.

The 27-year-old international suffered a hamstring strain while playing against Ligue 1 side Marseille in the group stage of the competition on 16 September.

Alexander-Arnold exited the field in the early stages, with early estimates suggesting a possible layoff of up to a month and a half.

Real Madrid are set to face Liverpool on November 4 for the Champions League fixture—just seven weeks after the injury occurred.

Insiders familiar with the player's condition indicate that the player's comeback is moving along positively, and there is optimism that Alexander-Arnold could make his first appearance to Anfield since signing for Los Blancos in the summer.

A longtime Liverpool supporter, Alexander-Arnold previously remarked that departing from the club he entered as a young academy talent was the "most difficult decision he's ever made."

During his time with the Reds, Alexander-Arnold made over 350 appearances, helping win two English top-flight titles, a Champions League, and the FA Cup.

After his transfer to Madrid, Alexander-Arnold has appeared on five occasions in various tournaments, logging 156 minutes of playing time.
