This season, Real Madrid has been plagued by injuries to important players, including Thibaut Courtois, Vinicius Junior, and Eder Militao, all of whom have had concussions that will last for an extended period of time.
Real Madrid is now in a perilous situation as a result of this, with Carlo Ancelotti having minimal depth throughout the whole field of play.
However, it would seem that Real Madrid have been given yet another injury setback, which is something that can only be characterized as a negative occurrence.
David Alaba sustains a hit to his anterior cruciate ligament
It has been reported by Fabrizio Romano that David Alaba has sustained an injury to his anterior cruciate ligament (ACL), which may cause him to miss the balance of the season.
Following Real Madrid’s victory against Villarreal by a score of 4-1, this comes as a result. In spite of the fact that Alaba had begun the game alongside Antonio Rudiger at center defense, the Austrian player sustained a knock during the first half of the match and was forced to remove himself from the game at the 35-minute mark.
Following the early-season blows sustained by Courtois and Militao, this is Real Madrid’s third anterior cruciate ligament injury of the season. As a result of these injuries, Real Madrid has been left with a severely depleted defensive unit. Munich superstar, who is being offered for about sixty million euros.
Among the teams who are interested in obtaining his services are Manchester United, Juventus, and Al Ittihad, amongst others.
However, given that the defender is now expected to be out until the conclusion of the season, it seems like Alaba will continue to play for the Bernabeu, at least until he is able to return to full health.

As a matter of fact, Ancelotti is now left with just two dependable choices in center defense, and they are Nacho Fernandez and Rudiger.
Are there any plans in store for Alaba’s future?
