Defined the situation of David Alaba with a view to Real Madrid vs. Manchester City

Carlo Ancelotti definitely loses one of his starting players with a view to Real Madrid vs. Manchester City, the second leg of the Champions League semifinals. This Tuesday, it has been confirmed that David Alaba will not jump with the team to the field of the Santiago Bernabéu stadium.

The newspaper Marca explained that the Austrian has a muscle tear that prevents him from appearing in one of the most momentous matches of the campaign. In fact, in the last session before receiving Pep Guardiola’s team, the versatile footballer did not start his usual tasks with the rest of the group.

Since he felt the physical discomfort, the center-back went to the club’s facilities to try to recover, even working some extra hours. What’s more, the winger underwent some last-minute studies to find out how he progressed, but the results were not encouraging. So he will cheer from the stands.

Without Alaba, who forced his presence in the first leg in England and worsened his condition there, Ancelotti fully trusts Nacho Fernández. The versatile player, always and throughout the course, was ready to make up for the various casualties that Real Madrid registered on all fronts and this time he will appear again on a hot date.

More casualties and a doubt

Gareth Bale, due to back problems, is out of the commitment for the Champions League. The Welshman, as is remembered, was not in the celebrations for winning the title. Eden Hazard, who is in the final stage after ankle surgery, is also not mentioned. While Isco did not rehearse this Tuesday with his teammates and awaits a resolution to his case.

There are good ones for Ancelotti because Luka Jovic is already fit to enter the squad list. In the same way, Ferland Mendy was free from the various discomforts that afflicted him in the campaign. Finally, Casemiro returns to the team after the suspension that caused his absence at the Etihad stadium.
