Real Madrid has been hit hard by the long-term injury of David Alaba, a key player in their defense. Alaba, who is 32 years old, is currently in the final stages of his rehabilitation and is expected to rejoin the team soon.
Bad luck struck Real Madrid in terms of injuries throughout the previous campaign. In this sense, one of the hardest setbacks was that suffered by David Alaba (32 years old). A versatile player who had become a key part of Real Madrid’s defense.
His absence has been felt, but the return of Éder Militao and Antonio Rüdiger has helped stabilize the backline. it is clear that the return of the Austrian will give another multi-calibre alternative to his coach Carlo Ancelotti.
Alaba, formerly of Bayern Munich, recently returned to training at Valdebebas for the first time since December 2023. His recovery is progressing well, and he is expected to alternate between gym work and on-field training as he regains his fitness. According to Bernabéu Digital, Alaba will soon rejoin his teammates in full training sessions.
The recovery of David Alaba
“The great progress in his recovery has been confirmed and other deadlines are beginning to be given for his official return to the pitch. If nothing changes, he will alternate work in the gym with the grass and the ball. As he regains sensations, he will return to the dynamic with the rest of his teammates,” explains Bernabéu Digital.
This is certainly great news for Ancelotti, who was left wanting more in the capital derby against Atlético de Madrid. The Italian is hoping for the return of a top-notch professional, Alaba, who will sooner rather than later bring his versatility to the Merengue scheme.
