Trent Alexander-Arnold during a match

Real Madrid signed Trent Alexander-Arnold on a six-year deal

The defender's recovery is progressing well, raising a chance that the Madrid defender may be fit soon enough to confront his previous team Liverpool in the upcoming Champions League tie.

The English player suffered a muscle injury while playing against Ligue 1 side Marseille in the group stage of the competition on September 16.

Alexander-Arnold exited the pitch in the fifth minute, with initial reports pointing to a potential absence of up to six weeks.

Real Madrid will travel to visit Liverpool on November 4 for the Champions League match—just over a month since the incident occurred.

Reports familiar with the situation indicate that the player's recovery is moving along well, and there is optimism that Alexander-Arnold may achieve his first comeback to Anfield after joining Real Madrid in June.

A lifelong Liverpool supporter, Alexander-Arnold earlier said that leaving the club he entered as a six-year-old youth talent was the "hardest choice he has ever made."

During his time with the Merseyside club, Alexander-Arnold notched over 350 appearances, helping secure multiple Premier League titles, a European Cup, and the domestic cup.

Since moving to the Spanish capital, Alexander-Arnold has played on five occasions across various tournaments, totaling 156 minutes of playing time.
