David Alaba
33-Year-Old
Real Madrid
La Liga
OUT
Injury Thigh
Est. Return 7/21/2025
Suffers new injury
Alaba, who's rehabbing from a knee injury, has been diagnosed with a left thigh injury, the club announced Friday.
ANALYSIS
It seems Alaba can't stay healthy, and this new injury will push his timeline to return further back. Los Merengues have decent depth on defense, though, as they signed Dean Huijsen before the Club World Cup and should welcome Eder Militao back as well for the start of the 2025/26 campaign -- if not sooner. Alaba will aim to get fit for the start of preseason after the Club World Cup.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Uncertain future in Madrid
Alaba's future at Real Madrid after the end of the current season is uncertain, according to Diario AS.
ANALYSIS
Alaba is among several players who might leave Real Madrid in the summer, although it's worth mentioning that the potential coaching changes might also affect his future. Alaba's injury issues have been a problem for Real Madrid all season long, and with Eder Militao getting ready to return, plus Real Madrid reportedly targeting a new center-back in the summer, Alaba might end up being an odd man out once it's all said and done.
