Los Blancos' Trent Alexander-Arnold Might Play Against Liverpool in November's Champions League Match
The Spanish giants signed Trent Alexander-Arnold with a long-term contract
The defender's recovery is moving forward according to plan, giving a chance that the Madrid defender could be fit in time to confront his old team Liverpool in November's European encounter.
The English player sustained a muscle problem during a match against Ligue 1 side Marseille in the group stage of the competition on 16 September.
Alexander-Arnold had to leave the pitch in the early stages, with early estimates pointing to a possible absence of up to a month and a half.
Real Madrid are set to face Liverpool on November 4 for the European fixture—just seven weeks after the injury happened.
Reports familiar with the situation suggest that the player's recovery is progressing positively, and there is hope that Alexander-Arnold could achieve his first return to Anfield since moving to Real Madrid in the summer.
A devoted Liverpool supporter, Alexander-Arnold previously said that leaving the club he joined as a six-year-old youth talent was the "toughest choice he has ever taken."
During his time with the Merseyside club, Alexander-Arnold made over 350 appearances, contributing to secure two Premier League titles, a Champions League, and the domestic cup.
After moving to the Spanish capital, Alexander-Arnold has appeared five times across all competitions, totaling 156 minutes of action.
