The Spanish giants brought in Trent Alexander-Arnold with a long-term contract
Trent Alexander-Arnold's recovery is progressing well, giving a chance that the Real Madrid right-back may recover soon enough to confront his former club Liverpool in November's European tie.
The English international suffered a muscle injury while playing against French side Marseille in the initial phase of the competition on September 16.
Alexander-Arnold exited the field in the fifth minute, with initial reports indicating a possible layoff of up to a month and a half.
Real Madrid are set to play at Liverpool on 4 November for the European match—precisely seven weeks since the injury occurred.
Sources close to the situation state that the player's recovery is progressing well, and there is expectation that Alexander-Arnold could make his initial comeback to Anfield since joining Real Madrid in June.
A devoted Liverpool fan, Alexander-Arnold previously stated that departing from the team he entered as a young youth talent was the "toughest choice he has ever taken."
During his tenure with the Merseyside club, Alexander-Arnold made 354 appearances, contributing to win two English top-flight championships, a Champions League, and the domestic cup.
Since joining to the Spanish capital, Alexander-Arnold has featured on five occasions in all competitions, accumulating 156 minutes of action.
