Los Blancos' Trent Alexander-Arnold Might Face His Former Club in Upcoming Champions League Match

The defender's rehabilitation is moving forward well, giving possibility that the Madrid right-back may return in time to confront his old club Liverpool in November's European encounter.

The English player experienced a muscle injury while playing against French side Marseille in the initial phase of the tournament on 16 September.

Alexander-Arnold exited the pitch in the early stages, with early estimates suggesting a potential absence of up to a month and a half.

Real Madrid are scheduled to face Liverpool on 4 November for the Champions League match—precisely over a month since the incident happened.

Reports close to the player's condition state that the defender's comeback is advancing well, and there is optimism that Alexander-Arnold may achieve his initial comeback to Anfield after joining Real Madrid in June.

A lifelong Liverpool supporter, Alexander-Arnold earlier stated that departing from the team he entered as a young youth player was the "most difficult decision he has ever taken."

During his tenure with the Reds, Alexander-Arnold made 354 games, contributing to claim two English top-flight titles, a Champions League, and the domestic cup.

Since moving to the Spanish capital, Alexander-Arnold has appeared five times across all competitions, totaling 156 minutes of action.
