Trent Alexander-Arnold is reportedly targeting a return against Liverpool next month despite initial doubts he would be fit. 

The right-back looked gutted when a hamstring injury forced him off against Marseille in September after just three minutes.

And the early prognosis was that Alexander-Arnold was in a race against time to be ready for the blockbuster clash against his former family at Anfield. 

He joined Real Madrid to much fanfare for £10million over the summer but his injury has exacerbated his struggles to establish himself in Xabi Alonso's starting XI. 

The 26-year-old has started only two of the five games he has been available for this campaign amid a battle for action with long-serving club captain Dani Carvajal. 

But The Times are reporting that his recovery has been going well and returning to his old hunting ground could be a glimmer of light for him.
