Real Madrid's Alexander-Arnold Might Face Liverpool in Upcoming European Clash

Trent Alexander-Arnold's rehabilitation is progressing according to plan, giving a chance that the Real Madrid defender may recover in time to play against his old club Liverpool in November's Champions League encounter.

The English international sustained a muscle strain during a match against French club Marseille in the initial phase of the tournament on September 16.

Alexander-Arnold had to leave the pitch in the fifth minute, with early indications pointing to a potential absence of up to six weeks.

Real Madrid will travel to face Liverpool on 4 November for the Champions League match—just over a month since the incident happened.

Insiders familiar with the situation indicate that the player's recovery is moving along well, and there is hope that Alexander-Arnold might make his initial appearance to Anfield since moving to Real Madrid in June.

A longtime Liverpool supporter, Alexander-Arnold previously said that leaving the club he joined as a young academy player was the "most difficult decision he's ever made."

During his tenure with the Merseyside club, Alexander-Arnold made over 350 games, contributing to win two Premier League championships, a Champions League, and the domestic cup.

Since moving to Madrid, Alexander-Arnold has appeared on five occasions across all competitions, totaling over two and a half hours of game time.
