Real Madrid's Alexander-Arnold May Play Against Liverpool in November's Champions League Fixture
Real Madrid acquired Trent Alexander-Arnold with a six-year agreement
The defender's rehabilitation is moving forward well, giving hope that the Madrid defender might be fit soon enough to face his old club Liverpool in November's European match.
The English player suffered a muscle problem while playing against Ligue 1 club Marseille in the initial phase of the competition on 16 September.
Alexander-Arnold exited the field in the fifth minute, with early estimates pointing to a potential layoff of up to six weeks.
Real Madrid are scheduled to play at Liverpool on 4 November for the European fixture—just seven weeks since the incident took place.
Insiders familiar with the player's condition state that the player's healing process is moving along well, and there is expectation that Alexander-Arnold might achieve his first appearance to Liverpool's stadium since joining Real Madrid in the summer.
A devoted Liverpool fan, Alexander-Arnold previously said that departing from the team he entered as a young youth player was the "most difficult decision he has ever taken."
During his time with the Merseyside club, Alexander-Arnold notched 354 appearances, helping claim two English top-flight titles, a European Cup, and the FA Cup.
Since joining to the Spanish capital, Alexander-Arnold has appeared five times across all competitions, logging 156 minutes of action.
Injury Status
- Alexander-Arnold could be out for six weeks with his hamstring issue
- The club paid the English side to secure Alexander-Arnold sooner than planned
- The Englishman is in a fight for his place at both club and international level
