Liverpool Football Club has received a significant boost with the return of Trent Alexander-Arnold ahead of their UEFA Champions League clash against Real Madrid at Anfield Stadium.

The England international, who has been sidelined since his injury against Aston Villa, is now in contention to feature in Liverpool’s Champions League match against the defending champions.

Liverpool will face Real Madrid on Wednesday, followed by a Premier League showdown against Manchester City. However, it remains uncertain whether Alexander-Arnold will start in both matches for the Reds.

The Reds have not defeated Real Madrid since 2009, a frustrating record they aim to end this week. With key Madrid players such as Vinícius Jr. and Tchouaméni potentially unavailable, Liverpool might have their best opportunity in years to secure a victory.

Liverpool is currently the only team in the Champions League with a perfect record after four games. They also sit at the top of the Premier League table, just behind Manchester City.
