Will miss the next match. Arbeloa confirms Alaba injury

David Alaba did not complete the full match in the team’s last game and was forced to leave the pitch. There had been speculation that he picked up an injury, which has now been confirmed.

Details: Real Madrid head coach Álvaro Arbeloa revealed that the Austrian defender will not feature in the next match. As for Asensio, it remains unclear whether he will be able to take part in the game.

Quote: Another injury. David Alaba is out for tomorrow. Asensio? We’ll see. And if not… then Diego Aguado or Lamine Fati will play. We’ll see. But Alaba definitely won’t be there, Arbeloa said.

Earlier we reported that Real Madrid hope the French forward will be ready for the match against Manchester City. However, the player’s camp does not agree with that assessment. They believe he should not sacrifice even a single day from the hundred remaining before the World Cup.

Reminder: Real Madrid recently found itself at the center of an internal controversy regarding the work of its medical department.
