The Austrian squad will continue their group sessions without him as the calendar moves toward the national team break, after which he is expected to return to action.
Alaba is sidelined by an injury. After losing to Liverpool at Anfield in the opening half, Real Madrid coach Carlo Ancelotti faces a challenging run of fixtures while the defender recovers.
Alaba, injured: what is the diagnosis, how long will he be out, and which Real Madrid matches might he miss?
What is the nature of the injury?
Real Madrid confirmed on Thursday that David Alaba is injured. The club’s medical report noted a muscular issue in the distal portion of the right biceps femoris and indicated that the medical team would monitor his progress closely.
How long could he be sidelined?
Initial plans suggest a month away from the pitch, with progress expected to dictate the actual return date. The defeat at Anfield occurred on February 21, and the earliest return would be after the national team break in early April.
Which matches might Alaba miss for Real Madrid?
The calendar points to six games in total: four in La Liga against Atlético Madrid, Betis, Espanyol, and Barcelona; one Copa del Rey clash with Barcelona; and a Champions League tie versus Liverpool. Each fixture carries implications for squad rotation and tactical options for the coach.
