David Alaba has been included in Real Madrid's squad for the match against Las Palmas, and Carlo Ancelotti has confirmed that the player is close to making his return to the field. Alaba has not played since December 2023 due to a knee ligament injury.
Details: Real Madrid's training session took place on Saturday at the club's training ground. Carlo Ancelotti stated that Alaba is feeling well and already played 40 minutes during the training session. Although he is still lacking match fitness, his knee has fully recovered. While Alaba won’t start the match, he will be in the squad and is likely to come on during the game.
Reminder: The 32-year-old Austrian has not played for over a year due to a serious injury. His return comes at a crucial time as Real Madrid is going through a tough period with injury problems, particularly with Dani Carvajal and Éder Militão.
