The Austrian national team captain is recovering from knee surgery and will only return to the field at the start of next season
David Alaba still won’t be able to play for European Championship 2024. Head coach Austrian national team Ralf Rangnick offers the injured Real Madrid player a temporary position on the coaching staff so that the experienced player can attend the continental forum as a member of the official delegation.
Let us remind you that the central defender was injured last December in a game with Villarreal (4:1) in the 17th round of La Liga. An in-depth examination diagnosed the player with a ruptured anterior cruciate ligament in his left knee. The player subsequently underwent surgery and began the recovery process.
According to preliminary information, it took Alaba from six to eight months to return to duty. As it has now become known, the captain of the Austrian national team will definitely not be able to play at the European Championships, which will be held in Germany from June 14 to July 14. David’s return to action is expected at the beginning of the 2024/25 season.
Austria is in Group D at Euro 2024. In the group stage, Rangnick’s team will play France (June 17), Poland and the Netherlands.
