Austrian center-back David Alaba continues his recovery from a severe cruciate ligament injury. However, his expected return to the pitch has prompted Real Madrid to alter their transfer plans.
Details: According to AS, Alaba is steadily increasing his workload in training and has already resumed ball work. His return is expected in the first half of January. As a result, Real Madrid no longer plans to enter the winter transfer market to seek defensive reinforcements.
If Alaba is fit, there will be no urgent need to sign another central defender. The Austrian will rejoin Antonio Rüdiger and Aurélien Tchouaméni, who is also capable of playing in this position.
Context: Recently, it was reported that Real Madrid defender Éder Militão also suffered a cruciate ligament injury. The defensive leader faces a lengthy rehabilitation process. After undergoing surgery, it is now clear when Militão is expected to return to action.
