According to a new report from Spanish outlet Relevo, Real Madrid's Austrian center back David
Araba
s recovery has been better than expected and he could be ready to play this October. Alaba suffered a serious injury last December and subsequently missed up to eight months of action, but his recovery has been good and he is now following a recovery program back from Germany.
Despite some negative news coming out that Alaba won't be fully recovered and back on the field until 2025, those around the player have denied the claims. Alaba wants to return in the best possible shape and maintain his goal of being able to make his debut in October.
In May, Alaba had to undergo an arthroscopy in Innsbruck, which further delayed his recovery. However, his recovery suggests that he has been able to recover more quickly and could be back in action as early as the beginning of the season.
For Alaba, he will face a new competitor for his position with the possible signing of Jolo. The club wants to finalize this transfer as soon as possible and Alaba has taken this into consideration. He doesn't want to lose his place at the club and realizes that the competition for the position is getting tougher. Therefore, he will try to return in the best shape possible to secure his place in the team.
