Los Blancos' Alexander-Arnold Could Face His Former Club in Forthcoming Champions League Match

The English defender in action — The Spanish giants acquired Trent Alexander-Arnold with a six-year deal

The defender's rehabilitation is advancing smoothly, raising hope that the Madrid defender could return in time to confront his old team Liverpool in the upcoming European match.

The English international sustained a hamstring injury while playing against French club Marseille in the initial phase of the tournament on September 16.

Alexander-Arnold had to leave the pitch in the early stages, with early indications indicating a potential absence of up to a month and a half.

Real Madrid are scheduled to visit Liverpool on November 4 for the Champions League fixture—just seven weeks after the injury took place.

Insiders familiar with the situation indicate that the defender's recovery is moving along positively, and there is hope that Alexander-Arnold might achieve his first appearance to Liverpool's stadium after signing for Real Madrid in the summer.

A longtime Liverpool fan, Alexander-Arnold earlier stated that departing from the team he joined as a young youth talent was the "toughest choice he's ever taken."

During his time with the Merseyside club, Alexander-Arnold made over 350 games, helping secure two Premier League championships, a European Cup, and the FA Cup.

Since moving to the Spanish capital, Alexander-Arnold has played five times across various tournaments, logging over two and a half hours of game time.
