The defender of Real Madrid, David Alaba, has ended the season prematurely due to the serious injury he suffered in the last match. Alaba was injured in Real's win over Valencia and had to be substituted in the 35th minute.
"Marca" announced on Monday that Alaba has damaged the cruciate ligament of the knee and therefore ended the season prematurely.
It is learned that he is expected to undergo surgery soon and then begin the recovery phase, which will last for months. Alaba's injury is a heavy blow for Real Madrid, who have already lost Eder Militao and goalkeeper Thibaut Courtois to similar injuries.
This season, Alaba has registered 17 appearances for Real in all competitions, where he also has two assists. The 31-year-old has a contract with the Spanish team until 2026.
