Alaba trained with a bulky bandage on his knee

Finally it seems that the 'FIFA virus' has been kind to Alaba. The Austrian international has only suffered a serious knock to his knee, which has not prevented him from training normally with his teammates, although he did so wearing a bulky bandage on the knee.

Ancelotti is gradually recovering his squad, and is relieved that those who seemed to be injured after the break are not. This is the case with David Alaba.

The Austrian returned from international duty with problems in his left knee, although tests in Madrid ruled out an injury.

It was all, therefore, just a scare. A scare in the form of a knock, the only consequence of which was that he had to train with a bandage on his knee. It doesn't seem that his presence in Kiev is in danger, and even less so in next week's ''El Clasico''.
