Trent Alexander-Arnold Poised for Comeback Ahead of Key Match Against Real Madrid

Former Liverpool player Trent Alexander-Arnold is on the verge of regaining full fitness just in time for the crucial match against Real Madrid at Anfield.

Injury Update

Alexander-Arnold sustained a hamstring injury during the Champions League match against Marseille on September 16. Initially, it was feared that this injury would sideline him for the upcoming game against his former club.

Recent Developments

The England international has been absent from the last six matches due to his injury. However, according to reports from AS, he has made significant progress in training sessions with the team, raising hopes about his potential return.

The upcoming fixture between Liverpool and Real Madrid, set for early November, is expected to be a high-stakes encounter, with or without the subplot involving Alexander-Arnold.

Social Media Activity

On Wednesday, he shared glimpses of his training progress on Instagram, including two photos of himself practicing with a football and a third showing him giving a thumbs up from a plunge pool, indicating his recovery is on track.

Anticipated Reception

If he is deemed fit to play, the reception awaiting Alexander-Arnold at Merseyside is likely to be hostile, given the circumstances surrounding his departure from the club after the conclusion of his contract. There is a possibility that manager Xabi Alonso may opt to rest him for this emotionally charged match.

At 27 years old, Alexander-Arnold has managed to score 18 goals and provide 64 assists during his time at Liverpool. However, his reputation has taken a hit, with many fans harboring negative feelings towards the right-back, who may not be welcomed warmly upon his return.
