Los Blancos' Trent Alexander-Arnold May Play Against Liverpool in November's Champions League Match

Trent Alexander-Arnold's rehabilitation is moving forward according to plan, raising possibility that the Real Madrid right-back could recover soon enough to confront his former club Liverpool in the upcoming Champions League encounter.

The English player suffered a hamstring injury during a match against Ligue 1 side Marseille in the initial phase of the competition on 16 September.

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

Real Madrid will travel to visit Liverpool on November 4 for the European match—exactly over a month after the injury occurred.

Sources close to the situation state that the defender's healing process is progressing positively, and there is optimism that Alexander-Arnold might make his first return to Liverpool's stadium since moving to Real Madrid in the summer.

A longtime Liverpool fan, Alexander-Arnold earlier said that departing from the club he entered as a six-year-old youth player was the "toughest decision he has ever taken."

During his tenure with the Merseyside club, Alexander-Arnold notched 354 appearances, contributing to win two English top-flight championships, a European Cup, and the domestic cup.

After joining to the Spanish capital, Alexander-Arnold has played on five occasions in various tournaments, totaling over two and a half hours of action.
