Los Blancos' Trent Alexander-Arnold Might Play Against His Former Club in Upcoming Champions League Clash

Trent Alexander-Arnold's rehabilitation is progressing well, giving hope that the Madrid defender may return in time to play against his former team Liverpool in the upcoming Champions League encounter.

The 27-year-old player sustained a muscle strain while playing against Ligue 1 club Marseille in the initial phase of the tournament on September 16.

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

Real Madrid will travel to face Liverpool on 4 November for the Champions League match—precisely over a month after the injury occurred.

Insiders familiar with the situation indicate that the player's recovery is advancing well, and there is optimism that Alexander-Arnold may make his first comeback to Liverpool's stadium after signing for Real Madrid in the summer.

A devoted Liverpool fan, Alexander-Arnold earlier said that leaving the club he entered as a young academy talent was the "toughest decision he's ever made."

During his tenure with the Merseyside club, Alexander-Arnold accumulated 354 games, contributing to claim multiple English top-flight titles, a Champions League, and the domestic cup.

After joining to Madrid, Alexander-Arnold has featured on five occasions across various tournaments, accumulating 156 minutes of playing time.
