Real Madrid central defender David Alaba suffered a serious injury that kept him out of action for a prolonged period. Finally, the end of this challenging time is in sight.
Details. Real Madrid head coach Carlo Ancelotti has revealed that the Austrian will likely return to the pitch in mid-January.
Quote. “David Alaba will resume team training on December 30 and should be ready to play around mid-January. He’s coming back, definitely. This is fantastic news,” Ancelotti told Fabrizio Romano.
Reminder. Back in December 2023, the defender sustained a severe ACL injury and hasn’t played a single match since.
Alaba joined Real Madrid in the summer of 2021 from Bayern Munich. To date, he has scored 5 goals and provided 9 assists in 102 matches for Los Blancos.
Earlier, it was reported that Real Madrid might pursue a sensational transfer for Virgil van Dijk.
