Real Madrid signed Trent Alexander-Arnold with a long-term contract
Trent Alexander-Arnold's rehabilitation is moving forward smoothly, raising a chance that the Real Madrid right-back may return soon enough to play against his former club Liverpool in the upcoming European match.
The English international sustained a muscle injury during a match against Ligue 1 club Marseille in the group stage of the tournament on September 16.
Alexander-Arnold exited the pitch in the fifth minute, with initial reports indicating a possible absence of around six weeks.
Real Madrid are scheduled to play at Liverpool on November 4 for the European fixture—precisely seven weeks since the incident happened.
Insiders close to the player's condition suggest that the player's comeback is moving along favorably, and there is hope that Alexander-Arnold might achieve his initial appearance to Anfield since moving to Real Madrid in June.
A lifelong Liverpool supporter, Alexander-Arnold previously said that leaving the club he joined as a young youth talent was the "toughest decision he has ever made."
During his spell with the Reds, Alexander-Arnold made over 350 games, helping claim multiple English top-flight championships, a European Cup, and the domestic cup.
After moving to Madrid, Alexander-Arnold has played on five occasions in all competitions, totaling 156 minutes of action.
