Real Madrid expect David Alaba to miss Club World Cup after fresh injury
Alaba, 33, underwent assessments which revealed an injury to his left calf muscle and the club anticipate he will be sidelined for around three weeks.
The Austria international has missed Madrid's opening three Club World Cup group stage fixtures as he continues his recovery from a meniscus injury in his left knee that he sustained in April.

He is yet to be named in a matchday squad at the tournament in the United States but was expected to be able to play a part in the latter stages before his latest set-back.
Injury restricted Alaba to just 14 appearances across all competitions during the 2024-25 campaign after returning from anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) tear in January.
He then suffered a meniscus injury in April that required minor surgery, ruling him out of the remainder of the campaign.
The defender was also limited to 17 appearances in all competitions the campaign before after suffering an ACL injury in December 2023.
Madrid beat Red Bull Salzburg in their final Club World Cup group game on Thursday and will play Juventus in the last-16 on Tuesday.
