Real Madrid's Alexander-Arnold May Return to Face Liverpool in Forthcoming European Fixture

Trent Alexander-Arnold's recovery is moving forward smoothly, raising hope that the Madrid right-back might return soon enough to play against his former club Liverpool in the upcoming European tie.

The 27-year-old player sustained a hamstring strain while playing against Ligue 1 side Marseille in the group stage of the competition on 16 September.

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

Real Madrid will travel to face Liverpool on 4 November for the European fixture—exactly seven weeks after the incident happened.

Reports close to the situation indicate that the defender's healing process is moving along well, and there is expectation that Alexander-Arnold may achieve his first comeback to Anfield after moving to Real Madrid in June.

A devoted Liverpool fan, Alexander-Arnold previously said that departing from the club he entered as a young youth player was the "hardest choice he's ever taken."

During his time with the Merseyside club, Alexander-Arnold accumulated 354 appearances, helping secure multiple English top-flight championships, a Champions League, and the FA Cup.

After moving to Madrid, Alexander-Arnold has featured on five occasions across various tournaments, accumulating over two and a half hours of playing time.
