An imminent career end for Alaba? “Complete nonsense”

There are rumors going around about David Alaba's injured knee and the 32-year-old's football future. The Spanish media are even talking about the imminent end of his career.

A rumor spread like bad news for Austrian football on Monday. David Alaba's return to professional football is currently very doubtful, according to voices and media reports from Spain. First, Iberian journalist Edu Pidal of Onda Cero reported that the Real Madrid legionnaire is still in severe pain due to a cartilage injury. After suffering a cruciate ligament tear.

Alaba (32 years old) suffered the injury last December and has been working on his return since then. As transfer expert Fabrizio Romano also reported on Instagram on Monday, the recovery process is currently going according to plan. Doctors, fitness trainers and the ÖFB national team player himself are satisfied with the process. So the impending career end is “complete nonsense.”

However, it can be assumed that Alaba will not be present on the football field this calendar year. He is scheduled to return in the spring. (editor)
