David Alaba, who was signed by Real Madrid in 2021, had a great influence on the club. The signing of the Austrian defender, who is a veteran in his position, was done with the intention of adding additional experience to the team as well as bringing in a high-caliber candidate. Indeed, he has accomplished that, and under Carlo Ancelotti’s direction, he has emerged as an important defender.
The unfortunate reality is that he has not had the best luck when it comes to injuries. As a matter of fact, Alaba was sidelined for a significant portion of the 2023–24 season, which meant that he was unable to participate in the majority of the action that led to Real Madrid’s historic triple victory, which included the Supercopa, the Champions League, and La Liga. In point of fact, despite the fact that his team won the Supercopa this season, Alaba was unable to collect a Supercopa honor.
Nevertheless, there is confidence that David Alaba will play a vital role in the next season, which is the reason why Real Madrid has not been active in the transfer market in this area. Due to the fact that the versatile defender is just 31 years old and has a deal with Bernabeu that lasts until 2026, he still has a lot of opportunity to demonstrate his worth.

Real Madrid is worried about David Alaba’s injury, and they do not anticipate him to start the season.
Fans of Real Madrid, on the other hand, will be dismayed to learn that David Alaba is not anticipated to be in full physical condition by the time the 2024–2025 season begins. In point of fact, according to Rodra (with attribution to Madrid Universal), David Alaba has established the objective of finishing a match that lasts for ninety minutes by the month of October in the year 2024.
In many respects, this is an aim that can be achieved. As a result of the fact that Alaba has been sidelined for a considerable amount of time, it is inevitable that it will take him some time to get back into a consistent playing schedule.
The good news for Real Madrid is that they have a really strong lineup in this area. While Eder Militao has also made his comeback from injury towards the conclusion of the previous season, Antonio Rudiger has established himself as a center defender and has established his reputation as a player who can play the position. Should it be necessary, Aurelien Tchouameni is also capable of performing duties in the center back position.
Carlo Ancelotti will not want to hurry David Alaba back into action, since this is not something he is interested in doing. Although the Austrian international is a player who Ancelotti holds in high regard and has a long history with, the Italian coach is aware that it would not be in his best interest to put Alaba in danger of suffering another injury. In light of this, the month of October is an excellent schedule for full match fitness.
