A highly anticipated reunion is on the horizon in the UEFA Champions League, as Trent Alexander-Arnold prepares to face his former Liverpool teammates for the first time since his high-profile transfer to Real Madrid in the summer of 2025.

The English defender is said to be personally counting down the days to the fixture, with reports suggesting he has circled the date on his calendar as a match of special significance. Eager to prove himself against his old club, Alexander-Arnold is focused on achieving peak condition for the emotional encounter.

His journey back to the pitch has been a race against time. Having been sidelined with an injury since late September, he took a step forward by returning to the squad for the recent clash with Barcelona, though he did not ultimately feature in that match.

All eyes are now set for Tuesday, November 4th, when his current club, Real Madrid, travels to Anfield for what promises to be a compelling fourth-round European battle.
