After the furor over Alaba: Ancelotti speaks out now

Following the rumors surrounding the impending end of David Alaba's career, his coach has now spoken out: Carlo Ancelotti is giving Real and ÖFB fans hope, saying he expects the Austrian to return soon. 

David Alaba's injury status has recently been the subject of wild speculation. Ten months have now passed since he tore his cruciate ligament in December last year. According to the Spanish journalist Edu Pidal, his return is proving difficult and he even spoke of an impending end to his career.

All nonsense - as Carlo Ancelotti confirmed at the press conference ahead of the league match against Celta Vigo. "Alaba will be back soon," revealed the Real Madrid star coach. Words that will make the red-white-red fans very happy. However, Ancelotti did not give an exact date for the comeback.

New signings "not ruled out"
 Nevertheless, there could be new players in the winter. "It is not ruled out that we will sign a player. However, we also have players from the next generation who will make their contribution," said Ancelotti.

In addition to Alaba, veteran Dani Carvajal has also been absent from the defense recently. The Spaniard will miss the Whites for months due to a serious knee injury.
