Los Blancos' Trent Alexander-Arnold Might Face His Former Club in Upcoming European Fixture

Trent Alexander-Arnold's recovery is advancing well, raising possibility that the Real Madrid right-back may be fit in time to play against his former team Liverpool in the upcoming Champions League match.

The English player suffered a muscle problem while playing against Ligue 1 side Marseille in the group stage of the tournament on September 16.

Alexander-Arnold had to leave the pitch in the early stages, with early indications suggesting a potential absence of around six weeks.

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

Sources familiar with the situation state that the defender's comeback is moving along favorably, and there is expectation that Alexander-Arnold may make his first appearance to Liverpool's stadium after joining Los Blancos in the summer.

A longtime Liverpool supporter, Alexander-Arnold previously said that leaving the team he entered as a young youth talent was the "hardest decision he has ever taken."

During his spell with the Reds, Alexander-Arnold accumulated 354 appearances, helping secure two English top-flight championships, a European Cup, and the domestic cup.

Since joining to Madrid, Alexander-Arnold has appeared on five occasions in various tournaments, totaling 156 minutes of game time.
