Real Madrid's Defensive Woes Deepen as Alaba Faces Extended Absence
In a significant setback for Real Madrid, it has been officially confirmed that David Alaba will be sidelined for the remainder of the season due to an unfortunate ACL injury sustained during the match against Villarreal.
The blow to the Los Blancos' defensive line occurred when the 31-year-old defender was substituted in the 35th minute of Madrid's triumphant 4-1 LaLiga victory over Villarreal on Sunday. Despite the team's success in the match, the joy is tempered by the news of Alaba's injury.
Carlo Ancelotti, Real Madrid's head coach, expressed his concern over the mounting injury crisis, particularly in the context of ACL injuries. The Austrian international now joins the ranks of Thibaut Courtois and Eder Militao, both of whom are already sidelined due to similar injuries.
In the aftermath of the game, Ancelotti lamented the situation, stating, “Alaba has torn his ACL, and it's very sad news. This is the first time it happens to me, three of my players tearing their ACLs… it's unbelievable.” As Real Madrid secures their position at the top of the La Liga table, the absence of key defensive players poses a significant challenge for Ancelotti in the remaining fixtures of the season.
