Los Blancos' Trent Alexander-Arnold Could Play Against Liverpool in Upcoming Champions League Clash

The defender's recovery is advancing well, raising possibility that the Real Madrid defender may return in time to play against his old team Liverpool in the upcoming European encounter.

The English player experienced a muscle strain while playing against French club Marseille in the group stage of the competition on September 16.

Alexander-Arnold exited the field in the fifth minute, with initial reports suggesting a possible layoff of up to six weeks.

Real Madrid are set to play at Liverpool on 4 November for the Champions League match—just seven weeks after the injury took place.

Sources familiar with the situation indicate that the defender's comeback is advancing well, and there is hope that Alexander-Arnold might achieve his initial comeback to Anfield since signing for Real Madrid in the summer.

A lifelong Liverpool fan, Alexander-Arnold previously said that leaving the team he entered as a young youth talent was the "toughest decision he has ever taken."

During his tenure with the Merseyside club, Alexander-Arnold notched over 350 appearances, helping claim multiple Premier League titles, a European Cup, and the FA Cup.

After his transfer to the Spanish capital, Alexander-Arnold has appeared five times across all competitions, totaling over two and a half hours of playing time.
