Alaba has set off the alarms at Real Madrid. The Austrian defender was absent against Rayo Vallecano due to muscular discomfort from which he has not yet recovered. Alaba has trained alone on the pitch at Valdebebas and his presence this coming Saturday against Real Sociedad is up in the air.
Although the possible drop in Alaba against Real Sociedad it is important, it could be even more so against PSG. The player doesn’t want to miss out on that Champions League match and it remains to be seen if Ancelotti takes a risk with him against Real Sociedad or reserves him for PSG.
Alaba’s absence against the Parisian team would be a problem for Ancelotti. In principle, Nacho would be the left side for that duel in which he will not be Mendy for penalty. If Alaba cannot be in the Champions League, Nacho would go to the center of defense and Ancelotti would have to choose between Marcelo and Miguel Gutierrez to act as a left back against the Mbappe, Messi, Neymar and company.
The white club conveys that Alaba’s discomfort is not of much importance and that he would even play if Real Madrid had to play a final. Despite everything, the truth is that Alaba still does not train with the group.
