Trent Alexander-Arnold will make a swift return to Anfield after his new club, Real Madrid, were drawn to face Liverpool again in this season’s Champions League.
The right-back will meet his former teammates months after his controversial move to the Bernabéu, which drew vocal disapproval from sections of the Liverpool support towards the end of last season. Alexander-Arnold, an academy product who spent two decades on the club’s books, was booed at the match against Arsenal in May after announcing that he would leave upon the expiry of his contract.
