Alaba visits clinic where he underwent surgery: his recovery going slower than expected

There are problems in the recovery process of David Alaba, who ruptured the anterior cruciate ligament in his left knee three months ago during a La Liga match against Villarreal. Miguel Angel Diaz, on 'COPE', reports that the Real Madrid player has taken advantage of this month's international break to travel to Inssbruck, the city in the west of his country, Austria, where he underwent surgery.
The aim is to seek review and advice from Christian Fink, the specialist who operated on him and who treated him when he suffered serious injuries during his time at Bayern Munich. In fact, this doctor is a regular for the medical services of Bayern Munich. The 'Merengues' started to work with him since the environment of his defender recommended him. He was playing a key role for Carlo Ancelotti.
The news that his return is not evolving as it should comes on the same day that his teammate Thibaut Courtois, affected by the same setback, ruptured the internal meniscus of the other knee he already had in the mix. The setback means that the 'Merengues' will have to face the final stretch of the season, the most important one, with several serious absentees, a constant problem this season.
David Alaba has never suffered too many injuries in his career. It is difficult to find a season in which he has been on the pitch less than 30 times. His lowest ratio of appearances dates back to 2014-15, when, at Bayern Munich, he was selected as a starter in 29 out of 29 appearances. At the time, he was under Pep Guardiola, who is now in charge of Manchester City.
