Alaba injured again: the bitter injury drama of the ÖFB star!

Vienna, Österreich - David Alaba has again suffered a muscle injury in the left calf. The Real Madrid club announced this injury on Friday, but without naming details on the severe or expected duration. According to the Spanish media, in particular the newspaper "AS", a break of around four weeks is expected. During the current club world championship in the USA, Alaba stayed with no minute and is expected to stay with the team.

The 33-year-old Alaba, captain of the Austrian national team, has been struggling with repeated injuries since his cruciate ligament rupture in December 2023, including adductor problems and a meniscal tear. In the current season 2024/25 he only completed 14 missions for Real Madrid, with his last appearance on April 23, 2025 against Getafe when he was replaced at half -time.

health problems and challenges

The current injury is part of a long history of suffering for Alaba. Since moving to Real Madrid in 2021, he has had numerous health setbacks. The former Bayern star had to pause for more than a year due to his cruciate ligament tear in December 2023 and has been struggling with various injuries since then. In addition to the calf, his adductors and the meniscus were also affected.

At the moment, Alaba remains with the team in the USA during the club World Cup, despite his injury. It could possibly be ready for the upcoming World Cup qualification games in early September that take place against Cyprus in Linz and against Bosnia-Herzegovina in Zenica.

future and competition

Alaba's contract at Real Madrid runs until 2026. According to the Spanish media, he had no realistic views of regular missions before his injury. In order to strengthen the defense, Real Madrid recently signed 20-year-old central defender Dean Huijsen for around 60 million euros. Huijsen is considered a direct competitor for Alaba and has already played through the club World Cup in all three group games.

While the violation of Alaba plays a central role in the current discussions about Real Madrid, it remains to be seen how his recovery will have an impact on his career and team nominations in the future. The fans hope for an early return of the talented defender after his difficult phase.
