Trent Alexander-Arnold's recovery is progressing according to plan, giving a chance that the Real Madrid right-back could recover soon enough to confront his old club Liverpool in November's European match.

The 27-year-old international suffered a muscle problem while playing against Ligue 1 club Marseille in the group stage of the tournament on 16 September.

Alexander-Arnold exited the pitch in the fifth minute, with initial indications suggesting a possible layoff of around a month and a half.

Real Madrid are scheduled to play at Liverpool on 4 November for the Champions League match—precisely seven weeks since the injury happened.

Sources close to the situation state that the player's recovery is moving along well, and there is optimism that Alexander-Arnold might achieve his first appearance to Anfield after moving to Real Madrid in the summer.

A longtime Liverpool supporter, Alexander-Arnold previously stated that departing from the club he joined as a six-year-old academy player was the "toughest decision he's ever taken."

During his tenure with the Merseyside club, Alexander-Arnold accumulated over 350 games, contributing to claim multiple English top-flight championships, a European Cup, and the domestic cup.

After joining to the Spanish capital, Alexander-Arnold has featured five times across all competitions, accumulating 156 minutes of game time.
