Austrian Announcement on Alaba’s Injury Impacting Madrid: “It Will Be a Miracle…”
Alaba’s injury dealt a severe blow to Real Madrid. Now, from Austria, there are updates regarding the central defender’s recovery.
The season has been plagued with injuries for Real Madrid. Several players have missed numerous matches, but the worst affected have been Courtois, Militao, and Alaba.
The Belgian and the Brazilian fell at the beginning; the goalkeeper couldn’t even make it to the squad for the league debut against Athletic Bilbao, where Eder suffered his injury, but his recovery is getting closer.
The situation was very different for the Austrian. Midway through the season, he had to leave a match against Villarreal, leaving the team with a significant problem in the center of defense, and himself sidelined for the remainder of the campaign.
At that moment, all focus shifted to his recovery. With the Euro 2024 coming up this summer, many wondered if he would be able to represent his national team, although it might have been a bit premature.
Updates from Austria on Alaba Reports suggested that Alaba might even miss the start of the next season, a possibility seemingly confirmed by the Austrian national team coach, who finds it unlikely to have David available this summer.
Ralf Rangnick has discussed Alaba’s chances of participating in the international tournament, and his response has been clear: “We have to be realistic with David Alaba. It will be a miracle if he plays in the Euro.”
Therefore, it seems he will have to focus on his recovery and try to return as soon as possible, similar to what we have already seen with Militao and Courtois back in training.
