Real Madrid dealt fresh injury blow
La Liga giants Real Madrid have late this week been dealt a fresh blow on the personnel front. This comes amid confirmation that defensive star David Alaba has suffered a setback in his ongoing efforts to recover from injury. Advertisement Stopper Alaba has for his part been sidelined since back in April, after his long-awaited return from an ACL injury was followed first by an adductor problem, and then a meniscus issue in his left knee. The Austrian had spent recent weeks closing on a return to the pitch, with a view to making himself available for pre-season training. As alluded to above, however, this weekend, such hopes on Alaba's part have been dashed. This comes amid confirmation on the part of the reliable Arancha Rodríguez of COPE that the former Bayern Munich man has picked up yet another injury: 'Alaba will be sidelined for another month due to a muscle injury in the soleus of the left leg.'

Real Madrid expect David Alaba to miss Club World Cup after fresh injury
Real Madrid expect defender David Alaba to miss the remainder of the Club World Cup after he suffered a fresh injury set-back. 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. Advertisement 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.

Real Madrid see €30m-rated Valencia defender as potential long-term solution
Carlo Ancelotti was tormented by the lack of depth at centre-back last season and paid the price for it in the form of Real Madrid's slip-ups across competitions. After all, Antonio Rudiger was playing through excruciating pain while David Alaba and Eder Militao spent more time injured than fit. Advertisement The arrival of Dean Huijsen, however, relieves pressure on the department to an extent. Even in that case, there is an equally strong stance that the men in white need at least one more player in the position going ahead this season. The La Liga option Los Blancos have been linked with several big names in the central defensive position in recent weeks with Liverpool's Ibrahima Konate and Arsenal's William Saliba standing out as seriously promising options. Now, as relayed by Real Madrid Confidencial, however, Valencia's Cristhian Mosquera has emerged as a strong candidate to reinforce the back-line and is a name Xabi Alonso approves. Cristhian Mosquera is on Real Madrid's radar. (Photo by) Advertisement Like Konate, he is a player who ends his contract in June 2026, giving Real Madrid a golden chance to pursue him on a free transfer next summer. After all, it has been the Galacticos' trend in recent years to follow free agents more closely. Despite being just 20 years of age, Mosquera is seen as one of La Liga's most promising defenders and Alonso sees a lot of value in acquiring his services now. Moreover, it will be relatively simple to pull off given Valencia's economic situation. The Mestalla-based club are expected to show minimal resistance to letting go of the defender given their need to sell players. The youngster is rated at €30 million and a fee around that ball-park could prove sufficient. *Player valuation in title obtained from on date of publication.
