Real Madrid has chosen not to sign a central defender this summer, even though they missed out on signing Leny Yoro and are dealing with David Alaba’s serious injury.
Currently, Aurelien Tchouameni or Jesus Vallejo would be their third-choice central defender.
Alaba’s injury, which includes a torn meniscus and a torn anterior cruciate ligament, was expected to keep him out for most of the year.
However, there’s good news for Los Blancos fans. Reports suggest that Alaba has started running on an anti-gravity treadmill and could be back on the grass within the next two weeks.
Real Madrid is being cautious with Alaba’s recovery due to the seriousness of his injury and his importance to the team.
While they don’t want to rush him back, this update suggests that Alaba might return closer to October rather than December.
The club previously kept Eder Militao out of action for two months after he started running on the pitch, ensuring he was fully fit before returning to competitive games.
With the potential for Real Madrid to play up to 72 games this season, Alaba’s return will be crucial for the team.
