It's been over 12 months since David Alaba tore his anterior cruciate ligament while playing for Real Madrid against Villarreal. His recovery period was not expected to last this long, but finally, it is one that is about to end.
Alaba has done individual work for the last few months, but as per Marcohe will join the group on Monday when Real Madrid return to training after the winter break. Carlo Ancelotti's side will then start preparing for their rescheduled Liga game against Valencia, which will be played at the Mestalla next Friday.
Alaba's return has been eagerly anticipated for a while, especially as fellow centre-back Eder Militao is currently sidelined after suffering his second ACL injury in 15 months. However, it will take several weeks for the Austria international to get back up to speed, so he will not be called up by Real Madrid see you later.
