Los Blancos' Trent Alexander-Arnold Might Return to Face Liverpool in Upcoming European Clash

Trent Alexander-Arnold in action

The Spanish giants acquired Trent Alexander-Arnold with a multi-year agreement

The defender's rehabilitation is moving forward according to plan, giving a chance that the Real Madrid defender may return in time to face his previous team Liverpool in the upcoming European match.

The English player suffered a hamstring injury during a match against French club Marseille in the group stage of the competition on September 16.

Alexander-Arnold exited the field in the fifth minute, with early indications suggesting a potential absence of up to a month and a half.

Real Madrid are scheduled to play at Liverpool on 4 November for the European match—exactly over a month since the injury took place.

Insiders familiar with the player's condition suggest that the player's comeback is progressing favorably, and there is optimism that Alexander-Arnold could achieve his first return to Anfield since moving to Los Blancos in the summer.

A lifelong Liverpool fan, Alexander-Arnold previously said that leaving the team he entered as a six-year-old youth talent was the "most difficult choice he's ever made."

During his tenure with the Merseyside club, Alexander-Arnold notched over 350 appearances, contributing to win multiple English top-flight titles, a Champions League, and the domestic cup.

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