First time in a year: Ancelotti announces Alaba’s return
In December 2023, Real Madrid defender David Alaba suffered a cruciate ligament injury and has not played a single match since. Today, the timeline for his return was finally revealed.
Details: In a press conference ahead of the match against Girona, Real Madrid manager Carlo Ancelotti confirmed that Alaba will be able to play next month.
Quote:
"Alaba needs another month. He will return at the beginning of next year, in January."
Ancelotti also stated that Vinícius Júnior will be available to play in the Champions League match against Atalanta next week.
Reminder: Without Vinícius, Real lost to Liverpool (0-2) in the Champions League and, just two days ago, fell to Athletic Bilbao (1-2) in a postponed La Liga match, with Kylian Mbappé missing a penalty.
