Although Carlo Ancelotti announced that David Alaba’s return to Real Madrid training is closer than ever, he practically hid the truth from everyone.
The Austrian international has been absent from Real Madrid for a whole year due to a torn knee ligament, and his return has been postponed more than once due to the severity of the injury and fear of any relapse.
Ancelotti had revealed that Alaba will participate in Real Madrid training starting on December 30, and two weeks later he may return to matches.
However, the “Relevo” network confirmed that what Ancelotti said is inaccurate, and that he is clearly aware that the 31-year-old will not participate in matches until next March.
The coach and the club are aware that Alaba needs a long time to recover his physical condition after an injury like the one he suffered, and he cannot be included in matches soon.
However, Real Madrid has no intention of entering the winter market and signing a new defender, and the team will be satisfied with the trio Raul Asensio, Antonio Rudiger and Aurelien Tchouameni.
