David Alaba’s return to the field of play will have to wait longer than expected because, according to Relevo, the Austrian center back has undergone arthroscopy on his left knee. The Real Madrid defender suffered a torn anterior cruciate ligament affecting the meniscus on December 17 and his recovery is not going as expected.
The idea of David Alaba arrived in time to play the Euro Cup with Austria but the slowness of his rehabilitation process prevented his participation in the continental championship. The player, in his capacity as captain of the Austrian team, is expected to be part of the expedition during the tournament.
According to Relevo, the former defender of Bayern Munich underwent an arthroscopy on the affected area this Wednesday in Innsbruck (Austria), a minor surgical intervention mainly used to observe the condition, diagnose and treat various injuries on the knee.
Real Madrid hope he can be available to Carlo Ancelotti for the start of next preseason, scheduled for the end of July.
