Militão and Alaba: Recovery and Goals in Real Madrid’s Preseason

In a friendly match that culminated in a resounding 4-0 victory against WSG Tirol, Éder Militão and David Alaba demonstrated their progress after overcoming injuries that affected their performance last season. Alaba, showing optimism, declared he felt “almost 100%.” The Brazilian defender, Militão, was in charge of opening the scoring with a header. For his part, Alaba, was positioned in the midfield after 62 minutes of play. Militão, after suffering cruciate ligament injuries, has participated in 22 LaLiga matches in the last two seasons. Alaba, who recovered from a similar injury in January, faced muscular problems. In the Club World Cup, Militão only played 26 minutes, while Alaba was unable to participate in the semi-final stage.

Éder Militão has suffered serious knee injuries in the last two seasons.When referring to his physical condition, Alaba commented: “I feel much better, I’m almost at 100%, I’m training well.” In the preseason, coach Xabi Alonso has tried Alaba in midfield, a position he already occupied at Bayern Munich and in the Austrian national team.

It’s different, that’s clear. It’s not my position, but I know it from before. Many years have passed, but I know it a little.

Arda Güler, for his part, hit the crossbar twice. The LaLiga season will begin this weekend, with Real Madrid facing Osasuna at the Santiago Bernabéu on Tuesday.
