David Alaba: Comeback in the Supercup semi-final against Mallorca!

Dschidda, Saudi-Arabien - David Alaba is facing a sensational comeback! After over a year of privation back to Real Madrid. Last Tuesday, the "royal" announced that the Austrian defender was appointed to the squad for the Supercup semi-final against RCD Mallorca. This highly expected match takes place on Thursday in Dschidda Saudi-Arabic (8:00 p.m. in the live ticker). Alaba bravely fought his way back for a heavy cruciate ligament rupture, which he spent in December 2023 during a game against Villarreal. The 32-year-old not only missed the EM 2024, but also the last months of the 2023-24.

Alaba's return is overdue

like The New York Times in May 2024 also reported an arthroscopic operation, which served to diagnose and treat joint problems. So far he was no longer allowed to show himself on the square. Trainer Carlo Ancelotti was positive about Alaba's progress and expects him to be ready to play in competitive games from mid -January. This is a ray of hope for the club that has to deal with several injuries during this period.

Alaba could be used in important games before the end of January, including both commitments in the Champions League and in La Liga. His return will be particularly important because the squad is weakened. Ancelotti currently has to do without rigid defenders such as Dani Carvajal and Eder Militao, both of whom are also injured for a long time. His comeback will be an important incentive for the "royal" who have already left their winter break behind and have to focus on the upcoming challenges to continue their title defense.
