Bayern Munich will help Real Madrid finding doctor for David Alaba

Honorary president of Bayern Munich, Uli Hoeness, has stated that the club will assist Real Madrid in finding a doctor for the surgery of defender David Alaba. The 31-year-old Austrian tore his ACL during the match against Villarreal (4-1) in the 17th round of La Liga.

Alaba has been diagnosed with a torn cruciate ligament in his left knee and will have to get a surgery that will sideline him for the rest of the season.

“Today, I tried to contact David Alaba, but unfortunately, I couldn’t. At Bayern, we took care to have him operated on in Innsbruck by a doctor we trust,” said Hoeness, as quoted by Marca.

Alaba played for Bayern before moving to Real Madrid in 2021 and left as a free agent to join Real two years ago.
