David Alaba Likely to Miss Real Madrid's Match Against Manchester City

Due to the recurring injury, David Alaba is likely to miss the clashes with Manchester City in the Champions League play-off on February 11 and 19. The 32-year-old had suffered a severe knee injury in December 2023 and made his competitive comeback 13 months later on January 19 of this year. Since his return, the Austrian national team captain has made four appearances. The new setback not only affects Alaba himself, but also his club. Real has major personnel problems in central defense, with Antonio Rüdiger and Eder Militao also injured. Coach Carlo Ancelotti is aware of the difficult situation and spoke of a "crisis. We will endure this with what we have," the Italian announced, and also explained that Alaba would have played from the start in the Cup quarter-final against Leganes on Wednesday after recovering from a knee injury.
