Daily Mirror IconSportFootballChampions LeagueTrent Alexander-Arnold was initially expected to be out for six weeks after suffering a hamstring injury earlier this month, but the Real Madrid star now seems set to return soonerTrent Alexander-Arnold is due to have fully recovered from a hamstring injury after the upcoming international break. Initially, there were fears that the player would be out for six weeks due to the injury he sustained earlier this month.There were concerns that Real Madrid might be without their summer signing for eight weeks, which would have meant missing a first return to Anfield with the Spanish club.

However, it now appears that Alexander-Arnold will return within a month of the injury.The most optimistic timeline had him returning in that timeframe following their first Champions League match against Marseille, and it is now reportedly the expectation. The 21-year-old primarily plays for Castilla, the club's reserve team, as he did last weekend, instead of participating in the Madrid derby against Atletico.Alonso, however, is said to have complete faith in Jimenez should the need arise to put him on the field.

Therefore, should neither Alexander-Arnold nor the Spaniard be fit in time, Jimenez could find himself playing at Anfield.Join our new WhatsApp community and receive your daily dose of Mirror Football content.
