Los Blancos' Alexander-Arnold May Play Against His Former Club in Forthcoming European Match

Trent Alexander-Arnold's recovery is progressing smoothly, giving a chance that the Real Madrid right-back may return in time to confront his previous team Liverpool in November's European tie.

The English player experienced a hamstring problem during a match against French club Marseille in the group stage of the tournament on 16 September.

Alexander-Arnold exited the field in the fifth minute, with early reports indicating a possible layoff of around a month and a half.

Real Madrid are set to visit Liverpool on November 4 for the Champions League match—exactly over a month after the incident occurred.

Insiders close to the situation state that the defender's recovery is advancing positively, and there is hope that Alexander-Arnold might achieve his first return to Liverpool's stadium since joining Los Blancos in June.

A lifelong Liverpool fan, Alexander-Arnold previously said that leaving the club he joined as a six-year-old academy talent was the "most difficult decision he has ever made."

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

After joining to the Spanish capital, Alexander-Arnold has appeared on five occasions across all competitions, logging 156 minutes of game time.
