Real Madrid has announced that David Alaba, their defender, will be sidelined due to an adductor injury in his left leg. This comes as a setback for the 32-year-old captain of Austria, who had recently returned to the field after recovering from an anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) tear. The club has not provided a specific timeline for Alaba’s return.
In the upcoming fixtures, Real Madrid is set to face Leganes in the quarter-finals of the Copa del Rey on Wednesday. This will be followed by a league derby against Atletico Madrid at home on Saturday, and a trip to Manchester City for the Champions League knockout phase playoffs on February 11th.
Real Madrid’s medical services conducted tests on David Alaba, which confirmed the adductor injury in his left leg. The club is closely monitoring his progress as he undergoes treatment and rehabilitation.
Currently, Real Madrid sits at the top of the LaLiga standings with 49 points from 22 matches, holding a one-point lead over second-placed Atletico Madrid.
