Not only has the Liverpool defender not returned to action, but news broke during the international break that Alexander-Arnold is close to joining Real Madrid, with the 26-year-old right-back set to leave Anfield as a free agent.

With Alexander-Arnold’s decision causing a stir with the likes of Jamie Carragher and the Liverpool supporters, the England international will be walking into a completely different atmosphere when the fullback returns from injury.

And there is now a timeframe on when the Liverpool academy graduate could be back for the Reds this season.

According to the Daily Mail, Alexander-Arnold is set to return to action for Liverpool at some point this month, though there isn’t an exact fixture that’s been outlined for the defender to make his comeback in the Premier League.

As per the report, Alexander-Arnold isn’t even back in full training yet for Liverpool, with the right-back still slowly working his way through the recovery process, meaning the 26-year-old is likely to need another week or two before his workload increases.

With supporters putting up posters aimed at Alexander-Arnold ahead of the defender’s potential move to Madrid, the England superstar will be returning to a completely different environment at Liverpool once back to full fitness.
