Real Madrid right-back Trent Alexander-Arnold is closing in on a return to action, with reports from Marca suggesting that his recovery is \u201cproceeding well.\u201d The Englishman, who has been sidelined with a muscle injury, is expected to be back in around two weeks, giving Los Blancos a major boost ahead of a crucial run of fixtures.<\/p>\n
According to the Spanish outlet, Real Madrid\u2019s medical staff remain confident that Alexander-Arnold will be fully fit after the international break. The primary goal, as per the report, is to have him 100% ready for El Cl\u00e1sico, which is scheduled to take place later this month.<\/p>\n
