Real Madrid signed Trent Alexander-Arnold on a six-year deal
Trent Alexander-Arnold's comeback is moving forward well, raising possibility that the Real Madrid defender could be fit in time to confront his former club Liverpool in November's Champions League match.
The English player experienced a muscle strain while playing against Ligue 1 club Marseille in the group stage of the tournament on September 16.
Alexander-Arnold exited the field in the early stages, with early estimates suggesting a possible absence of up to a month and a half.
Real Madrid will travel to visit Liverpool on November 4 for the European match—precisely over a month since the injury happened.
Sources close to the situation state that the player's recovery is progressing favorably, and there is hope that Alexander-Arnold might achieve his first appearance to Anfield since signing for Real Madrid in the summer.
A lifelong Liverpool supporter, Alexander-Arnold earlier stated that leaving the club he entered as a young youth player was the "toughest decision he's ever taken."
During his tenure with the Reds, Alexander-Arnold notched over 350 games, contributing to claim multiple English top-flight titles, a Champions League, and the FA Cup.
After moving to Madrid, Alexander-Arnold has featured five times in various tournaments, accumulating 156 minutes of playing time.
