As David Alaba, a defender for Real Madrid, continues his recuperation from a catastrophic injury to his anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) earlier in the season, he is going to have a challenging beginning to the year 2024.
Almost immediately after the news of his injury became public, it was speculated that Alaba will be out for the duration of the season, which would be yet another disappointing development for Real Madrid.
Recently, Alaba has talked about his injuries for the first time, indicating that he is making a concerted effort to get back on track. This comes only a few weeks after he was knocked out.
The process of Alaba’s recuperation is going to be difficult.
On the other hand, Alaba is going to have a difficult time recovering since his anterior cruciate ligament damage looks to be more severe than what was previously believed.
As reported by writer Ramon Sanchez (with attribution to SPORT), Alaba has been experiencing difficulties not only with the rupture of his anterior cruciate ligament (ACL), but also with the cartilage and meniscus injuries that he sustained.
The road to recovery for Alaba might become much more difficult as a result of this, and it could possibly be delayed by a significant amount.
The update that Alaba sent on Instagram may have been in response to the update that Ramon Sanchez provided on his ailment, according to speculations made by SPORT.
Possible absence for a period of 10 months
Additionally, it was anticipated that Alaba would not be able to participate in the next stages of the campaign. However, many people had anticipated that he would be ready for the beginning of the next season.
In spite of this, Ramon Sanchez believes that Alaba might be sidelined for a period of about ten months if the issues that he has been experiencing recently continue.
It is thus possible that the Austrian international will not only be unable to participate in the pre-season preparations, but also in the early parts of the next season.
This may turn out to be a terrible omen for Real Madrid, as it is possible that they will not even be able to achieve a sale of Alaba during the summer of next year, particularly if the defender continues to be out with an injury.
