Real Madrid center-back, David Alaba suffered a torn ACL in Los Blancos’ La Liga clash with Valencia on Sunday evening, the club has confirmed. Alaba had to be helped off the pitch after twisting his left knee in the first half of Madrid’s La Liga clash with Villarreal. He was unable to put weight on the injured leg. Los Blancos later confirmed that the center-back had torn his ACL.
Madrid are now down to two fit senior center-backs. Eder Militao tore his ACL in the first game of the season, and Los Blancos have no other apparent options on the first team. Alaba will undergo surgery in the coming days and will miss the remainder of the season. Madrid, meanwhile, may find themselves having to dip into the transfer market in January to bring in cover.
