Los Blancos' Trent Alexander-Arnold Could Return to Face Liverpool in November's European Fixture

Trent Alexander-Arnold's comeback is progressing smoothly, giving possibility that the Madrid defender may return soon enough to face his old club Liverpool in November's European encounter.

The English international suffered a muscle problem during a match against French side Marseille in the initial phase of the tournament on September 16.

Alexander-Arnold exited the field in the early stages, with initial estimates pointing to a possible layoff of as long as a month and a half.

Real Madrid are scheduled to play at Liverpool on November 4 for the Champions League match—precisely over a month since the injury occurred.

Reports close to the player's condition suggest that the defender's healing process is moving along favorably, and there is optimism that Alexander-Arnold might make his initial appearance to Anfield after joining Los Blancos in June.

A lifelong Liverpool supporter, Alexander-Arnold previously said that leaving the team he entered as a six-year-old academy talent was the "hardest decision he has ever made."

During his time with the Reds, Alexander-Arnold accumulated over 350 appearances, helping secure multiple English top-flight titles, a European Cup, and the FA Cup.

After moving to Madrid, Alexander-Arnold has featured five times in various tournaments, logging over two and a half hours of playing time.
