Heavily injured in the knee in December 2023, David Alaba has caused a lot of concern in Madrid recently. Indeed, it takes a little longer to come back from his cruciate ligament rupture. Generally, players take between 6 and 9 months to recover, but the Austrian will soon reach a full year without playing.
But we should see him again soon, as indicated A.S.. His return will take place during the month of January 2025, when Ancelotti really needs it to deal with this avalanche of injuries which is decimating his squad and especially his rearguard. A return which should also calm down a little all the transfer window rumors of the moment, since it would confirm management in its idea of not recruiting a defender in January.
