Real Madrid could lose David Alaba for a long time.

The defender has damaged his knee ligaments in Real’s 3-0 win over FC Sheriff.

During Thursday the player will do more in-depth examinations to confirm the extent of the injury.

Ancelotti feels that the injury is not serious, but on the other hand there is a fear that it could have damaged the ligaments a lot.

Alaba is the backbone of Real’s defense and if the injury is more serious than it looks, then it will be a major shortcoming in Los Blancos defense.
