Real Madrid dealt fresh injury blow | OneFootball

La Liga giants Real Madrid have late this week been dealt a fresh blow on the personnel front.

This comes amid confirmation that defensive star David Alaba has suffered a setback in his ongoing efforts to recover from injury.

Stopper Alaba has for his part been sidelined since back in April, after his long-awaited return from an ACL injury was followed first by an adductor problem, and then a meniscus issue in his left knee.

The Austrian had spent recent weeks closing on a return to the pitch, with a view to making himself available for pre-season training.

As alluded to above, however, this weekend, such hopes on Alaba’s part have been dashed.

This comes amid confirmation on the part of the reliable Arancha Rodríguez of COPE that the former Bayern Munich man has picked up yet another injury:

‘Alaba will be sidelined for another month due to a muscle injury in the soleus of the left leg.’
