Austria international of Nigerian descent David Alaba has underwent a successful surgery to correct the meniscus of his left knee.
Alaba picked up a fresh injury during Real Madrid’s Copa del Rey final clash against Barcelona last Saturday.
Having undergone surgery, the former Bayern Munich star is expected to begin his rehabilitation process in the coming days. His season is over and will have to shift attention to the upcoming FIFA Club World Cup to be staged in the United States of America.
Meanwhile, Real Madrid will do everything possible to ensure the Austrian recovers in time for the FIFA Club World Cup.
Additionally, Madrid’s left-back Ferland Mendy is also ruled out for the remainder of the current season due to a proximal tendon rupture. On top of that, German defender Antonio Rüdiger has undergone surgery and will be sidelined for several weeks.
Alaba has been limited to only 14 appearances for Real Madrid this season due to persistent injuries.
