David Alaba’s injury is an issue that certainly worries Real Madrid. The Austrian player will be out for some time and the reality is that many expect the club to go into the transfer market in search of a new defender. Something that according to COPE will happen. However, Varane’s name appears on the scene, due to the difficult time the French player is going through at Manchester United.

The action where Alaba got injured took place half an hour into the game during a fight with Gerard Moreno. The defender wanted to put pressure on the Villarreal forward, but he supported it poorly and his left knee twisted in a very ugly way. Quickly, the Real Madrid footballer realized the seriousness of his injury and shook his head, pretending that things were not going well.

His companions came to his aid. He got up quickly, but was unable to leave the field of play on his own feet. He did it with the help of the club’s doctors and Nacho took his place. Alaba left the game after thirty minutes and all of Madrid fans were left wondering about the extent of his injury. In the end the worst omens were confirmed. He crossed and was out for the rest of the season.

Can Varane return to Real Madrid?

Raphael Varane is a high-level defender, but he is not having the best moment at Manchester United after returning from his injury. This is due to the distrust that Erik Ten Hag has in him. However, his game against Liverpool showed that he is still one of the best in the world. According to COPE, Real Madrid is considering Varane’s name as one of the players who could arrive as reinforcement after Alaba’s injury.
