Trent Alexander-Arnold's rehabilitation is advancing smoothly, raising hope that the Madrid right-back may return in time to play against his previous team Liverpool in November's Champions League encounter.

The English player suffered a muscle strain during a match against French club Marseille in the initial phase of the competition on September 16.

Alexander-Arnold exited the pitch in the early stages, with early estimates suggesting a potential layoff of up to a month and a half.

Real Madrid will travel to play at Liverpool on November 4 for the Champions League match—exactly seven weeks after the incident occurred.

Sources familiar with the player's condition state that the player's comeback is progressing well, and there is optimism that Alexander-Arnold may make his first comeback to Anfield after moving to Los Blancos in the summer.

A longtime Liverpool fan, Alexander-Arnold earlier said that departing from the team he entered as a young youth talent was the "hardest choice he's ever taken."

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

Since moving to Madrid, Alexander-Arnold has played five times across all competitions, accumulating over two and a half hours of action.
