Real Madrid injuries
David Alaba
- Issue: Torn ACL
- Potential return: Start of 2024/25 season
David Alaba became the third Madrid player to sustain an ACL tear this season, with Eder Militao and Thibaut Courtois both returning to action in the spring following lengthy spells out. The Austrian international ruptured his ligaments during the 4-1 win over Villarreal in December and will miss the remainder of the campaign.
The defender has undergone successful knee surgery and is expected to be out of action for eight months. As a result, there are serious doubts regarding his status for Euro 2024.
From a Madrid perspective, Alaba should be fit and firing by the time the start of the 2024/25 season rolls around.
