The defender's comeback is progressing smoothly, giving possibility that the Madrid defender could be fit in time to face his former club Liverpool in the upcoming Champions League match.
The English player experienced a muscle problem while playing against French club Marseille in the group stage of the competition on September 16.
Alexander-Arnold had to leave the field in the fifth minute, with initial estimates indicating a possible layoff of as long as a month and a half.
Real Madrid are scheduled to face Liverpool on November 4 for the Champions League match—precisely over a month since the injury occurred.
