Real Madrid star returns to the pitch after almost 400 days out | OneFootball

Real Madrid star David Alaba secured his long-awaited return to the pitch on Sunday evening.

This came during Real’s La Liga meeting with Las Palmas.

Carlo Ancelotti’s troops are of course locked in action at present, late in a meeting with lowly Las Palmas at the Santiago Bernabéu.

Los Blancos find themselves cruising towards a three-point haul in the matchup, with goals on the part of all of Kylian Mbappé (2), Brahim Díaz and Rodrygo having given rise to a 4-1 scoreline.

And yet, as alluded to above, their latest incoming triumph is far from the only reason for those of a Real Madrid persuasion to smile on Sunday.

This comes with a major boost having also been forthcoming for the Spanish champions on the personnel front.

Just shy of 400 days on from being struck down by an ACL injury, David Alaba at long last marked his return to competitive action against Las Palmas.

After being sent out to warm up to rapturous applause on the part of the home crowd during the 2nd-half, a little over ten minutes from time, the defender’s long-awaited moment finally arrived.

Replacing Antonio Rüdiger in Carlo Ancelotti’s backline, David Alaba is officially back!
