Alaba comeback: Hope for Real Madrid in the CL second leg against City!

There is hope for all fans of Real Madrid and the Austrian national team! The coach of the Spanish football giant, Carlo Ancelotti, expects David Alaba to return to Manchester City in the highly anticipated second leg of the Champions League play. After the exciting 3-2 victory for Real in Manchester on Tuesday evening, Ancelotti said: "For the second leg we need Rüdiger and Alaba, and I think they will be ready for use," reported oe24.at/sport/fussball/verrueckte-wende-shts-jetzt-mit-oefb-alaba-Weiter/623578412"> OE24

The 32-year-old Austrian suffered an adductor injury in the left leg in early February and then had to pause. Spanish media originally provided for a downtime of two to three weeks. But Ancelotti's optimism could mean that Alaba may return faster than expected. This return would be particularly valuable because Real Madrid is very decimated due to numerous injuries in defense, including Antonio Rüdiger. A comeback from Alaba would strengthen the defensive considerably and could be decisive for promotion to the round of 16 of the Champions League if the second leg is held next Wednesday, as well as Laola1 reported.

Alabas double chance

The prospects for a quick return of the defensive star are good! If Alaba actually gets fit, he could also be nominated for the Austrian national team in the upcoming Nation League play-off against Serbia. The first leg will take place at home on March 20, while the second leg on March 23 will follow. These games are crucial for Austria's promotion to League A of the Nations League and could underline Alaba's importance in the team.
