It has been stated by journalist Rodra (with attribution to RM4Arab) that Real Madrid defender David Alaba is working on returning to full fitness and playing by the month of October. Despite the fact that it is anticipated that he will resume playing beginning in September, he will not yet be performing at his highest level.
It should be brought to your attention that Alaba sustained an injury to his left knee on December 17, 2023. It has been more than six months since the injury caused his season to come to an end and caused Real Madrid’s plans to be interrupted.
The issue was significant, primarily due to the fact that it featured a ruptured anterior cruciate ligament as well as damage to the meniscus, which made the process of his recuperation rather difficult.
As a consequence of this consequence, Alaba was had to have yet another arthroscopic procedure in Innsbruck in the month of May, and he is still unable to run properly on grass.
Despite his participation with Austria, Alaba decides to pursue a goal.
Alaba has decided to participate in the Euro Cup with the Austrian national squad, despite the difficulties that remain. Ralf Rangnick will have him serve as his technical assistant in addition to his duty as the off-field captain of the squad. His function in the team is dual.
As Austria faces stiff competition in their group, which includes strong teams like as France, the Netherlands, and Poland, he intends to provide support and guidance to the younger players in the squad.
In the meanwhile, Alaba is carrying on with his recuperation plan with the intention of getting back to his previous level of performance for Real Madrid.
As a personal goal, he has set the goal of being able to play a complete match that lasts for ninety minutes at a competitive level by the month of October. While he has said that he intends to return to the field in September, he is aware that he will need more time in order to attain his peak level of performance.
The approaching year is going to be very important for Alaba. In addition to the fact that he is recuperating from a complicated injury, he is also contending with intense competition for his job.
Antonio Rudiger and Eder Militao, both of whom are defenders, are competing with one another for the starting position at center back. As a result of the uncertainty that surrounds Nacho and the possibility that Leny Yoro may join the club, Alaba is aware that he must perform at his highest level in order to ensure that he will be included in the squad.
