According to Marca, Alexander-Arnold could make his return after the international break in two weeks. Although initial assessments suggested an absence of six to eight weeks, his recovery is progressing well, and the Englishman might be available either for the clash against Juventus or, if not, for the following match against Barcelona.

Caution remains key, however. It’s still a muscle injury, which must be managed carefully to prevent relapses and long-term issues. The English full-back had a slow start to the season — understandable, given that after many years at Liverpool, he’s still adjusting to a new environment, lifestyle, and tactical system. That process has been interrupted by his injury, but Xabi Alonso considers him a vital piece of his project and remains optimistic about his imminent return.
