David Alaba, injured since December 2023, will not return to the field before January 2025. A new blow for Real Madrid, already deprived of Dani Carvajal, while Carlo Ancelotti seeks solutions in defense.
David Alaba, versatile defender of Real Madrid, sees his return to the field once again postponed. Injured since December 2023, the Austrian was initially due to return this month after two operations on his left knee, but his rehabilitation is taking longer than expected. Alaba could now return at best in January 2025, a blow for Carlo Ancelotti, who must manage a cascade of injuries in defense, especially with the prolonged absence of Dani Carvajal.
Real Madrid facing serial injuries
The start of the season is complicated for Real Madrid, already weakened by several major injuries. Besides David Alaba, Dani Carvajal is also on the sidelines with his season already over due to a ruptured cruciate ligament. These absences weigh heavily on a Madrid defense which is struggling to find stability, while the club occupies second place in La Liga, three points behind FC Barcelona after nine days.
