Alexander-Arnold suffered a hamstring injury during the early stages of the Champions League clash with Marseille on September 16th and reports suggested that he would miss the Anfield clash, which would see him return to his old club.
The England international has missed the last six matches through injury but, as reported by AS, he has completed a significant part of training with the squad, which has sparked conversation as to whether he will return in time.
The Reds are scheduled to host Real Madrid in early November in what will be an intense affair even without the Alexander-Arnold storyline hanging over both clubs.
On Wednesday, Alexander-Arnold posted two photos of himself training on the grass with a ball on his Instagram account, followed by a third image of himself giving a thumbs up to the camera from the plunge pool as he showed his progress.
The Liverpool academy product will likely face a hostile reception on his return to Merseyside after leaving on bad terms at the end of his contract. If he is fit there is a chance that manager Xabi Alonso decided to protect him and keep him away from the clash that is sure to be feisty.
The 27-year-old scored 18 goals and contributed 64 assists in his time at the club but his reputation is tarnished, with many fans detesting the right back who won’t be shown any love on his return.
