David Alaba’s Participation in Real Madrid-Osasuna Hangs in the Balance

The suspense surrounding whether David Alaba will be able to play in Real Madrid-Osasuna this Saturday continues until the end. The Austrian, who suffers muscle problems in his right abductor and had to withdraw from the duel against Las Palmas at the Bernabéu last Wednesday due to this, was unable to complete the entire Madrid session this Thursday in Valdebebas. He did part of it with the group and another part individually, working with the white team’s recoverers.

Thus, the final test to see if he will be able to play against Osasuna this Saturday is postponed to Friday, the last training session prior to the duel against the red team. If Alaba manages to complete the session with the rest of his teammates without problems or discomfort, Ancelotti will be able to count on him to receive Osasuna. It is not a minor matter, since Madrid currently has only one central defender available: it is Rüdiger, taking into account Militao’s long-term injury, Alaba’s aforementioned illness and Nacho’s suspension for his direct red card in Girona, which will last for this match and two more, although Madrid will appeal the decision and hope to subtract some matches from the punishment.

Vinicius, who was testifying this Thursday morning at the Plaza de Castilla Court in the case regarding the racist insults he allegedly suffered in Mestalla, arrived at training on time after his statement and was able to complete the session without problems. The training, which started in the gym and then jumped onto the grass, included the usual absences (Courtois and Militao) and with good news: Arda Güler is already running continuously on the grass and his return is approaching. The Turk fell with a muscle tear in his left rectus femoris, just when he had recovered from his torn meniscus, and the idea is that he can return at the end of this month, if the evolution of his injury continues as usual. expected.
