It’s almost the end of a long ordeal for David Alaba. Victim of a rupture of the anterior cruciate ligament in his left knee in December 2023, the Austrian central defender is close to a return to competition.
According to A.S.the former Bayern Munich player could be part of the group for the reception of Las Palmas on January 19 as part of the 20th day of La Liga. If this hypothesis is confirmed, the presence of Alaba will be a breath of fresh air for a heavily weakened Madrid defense.
Real must hold on while waiting for Alaba
The Merengue infirmary is full, and Carlo Ancelotti already has to deal with the packages for the rest of the season of Dani Carvajal and Éder Militao, victims of serious knee injuries. Added to this is the unavailability of Lucas Vazquez, affected by a muscle injury, further complicating the Italian technician’s plans.
The priority for the Mister will therefore be to overhaul its defense until Alaba is fully operational. Until then, several big deadlines are looming for Real: three trips are on the program, first in the Champions League on Liverpool’s pitch on November 27, before a shock against Atalanta on December 10, then in the league against Athletic Bilbao on December 4 in the league.
