Real Madrid is preparing for the imminent return of David Alaba, although it won’t be as expected. The plan is for the Austrian to start training with his teammates starting in January, but his return to the field will have to wait. Relevo has revealed this, delving deeper into this matter and bringing to light the true plan of Florentino Pérez and Ancelotti.
David Alaba has been inactive for over a year, and no risks want to be taken with his return. No exact date is being given for his comeback, as he could face more setbacks in the coming weeks. The forecasts are clear: he will return to training in January, while Ancelotti already knows he won’t be able to count on him until next March.

To avoid a significant relapse, Alaba will prepare in the coming weeks to be ready for the decisive phase of the season. He is a necessary center-back for the first team, and the plan is to have him ready for the important moment when all the titles will be decided. The Austrian has already given his approval, and all parties will take his return very calmly.
Alaba’s Recovery Involves a Decision at Real Madrid: Florentino Pérez Gives the OK
Florentino Pérez has been considering it for several weeks, but the decision is already made. Real Madrid has decided not to go to the January market in search of a center-back. The main reason for this is Raúl Asencio, whose emergence in the first team has been welcomed with open arms. He won’t return to Castilla, and the idea is to renew him in the coming months, making him a part of the ‘seniors’.
What Real Madrid intends is to enhance the qualities of an Asencio who has shown he is ready to play in important matches. The plan is to give him rest whenever possible, trying to keep him in the best possible condition for the decisive phase of the season. The youth player is fulfillling what is being asked of him perfectly, and another center-back is not needed to take his place.

Not only Raúl Asencio. Florentino Pérez’s decision is well thought out, and Alaba’s recovery is also key. The Austrian is in the final phase of his injury and is expected to return to training at the beginning of 2025, being a very key player for the defense. Between the two, the idea is for the defense to be well covered for the remainder of the season, also including Rüdiger.
