Los Blancos' Alexander-Arnold May Face Liverpool in Forthcoming European Clash

The defender's rehabilitation is advancing well, raising possibility that the Real Madrid right-back may return soon enough to play against his old team Liverpool in November's European match.

The 27-year-old player experienced a hamstring injury during a match against Ligue 1 club Marseille in the initial phase of the competition on 16 September.

Alexander-Arnold was forced off the field in the early stages, with initial estimates suggesting a possible layoff of around six weeks.

Real Madrid will travel to face Liverpool on November 4 for the European fixture—precisely over a month since the incident occurred.

Insiders close to the player's condition state that the player's comeback is advancing positively, and there is hope that Alexander-Arnold may achieve his first return to Anfield after moving to Real Madrid in the summer.

A longtime Liverpool supporter, Alexander-Arnold earlier stated that departing from the club he entered as a young academy talent was the "toughest choice he has ever taken."

During his time with the Reds, Alexander-Arnold accumulated over 350 games, contributing to win multiple English top-flight titles, a European Cup, and the FA Cup.

After moving to the Spanish capital, Alexander-Arnold has appeared five times in all competitions, totaling over two and a half hours of game time.
