Alaba comeback: Coach Ancelotti gives hope for a quick return!

The return of Austrian football star David Alaba is imminent! The Real Madrid defender, who has been struggling with a torn cruciate ligament in his left knee for over a year, was surprisingly named by coach Carlo Ancelotti in the squad for the Spanish Super Cup mini-tournament in Jeddah. The semi-final opponent is Real Mallorca, and Alaba recently trained with a heavily bandaged knee, which makes fans of Alaba and Real Madrid sit up and take notice. Loud Today.at The 32-year-old's comeback could soon become a reality.

Although Ancelotti says he wants to give Alaba more time, he remains hopeful by saying "We're close to seeing him." The coach speaks of a possible appearance, but rules this out for the Supercup semi-finals, as Alaba may need another week or more to be back on the pitch t-online.de reported.
