David Alaba’s versatility might just save Real Madrid in their upcoming clash with Leganés.
The Austrian star returned to the Spanish capital after a mixed international break with his national team, where he wore the captain’s armband and showcased his leadership in the squad.
He started Austria’s first match against Serbia, delivering a solid performance, but found himself on the bench for the second game.
Alaba came on for just 15 minutes in that outing, a brief stint that still allowed him to shake off some rust before heading back to Madrid.
With Real Madrid gearing up for a packed schedule across La Liga, Copa del Rey, and the Champions League, Alaba’s return couldn’t be timelier.
Relevo reports that injuries to Ferland Mendy and Fran Garcia could see him deployed at left-back against Leganés.
It’s a position he knows well from his Bayern Munich days, and he’s eager to hit top form ahead of tough tests against Real Sociedad and Arsenal.
