Real Madrid's Austrian midfielder David Alaba, who was forced to stay out for a long time due to injury, seems likely to return for the La Liga round 20 match against Las Palmas on the 19th (local time).

However, at a press conference held on the 18th, Real manager Carlo Ancelotti addressed Alaba's condition and revealed that he may be used against Las Palmas.

"He's in good shape. He played 40 minutes in training yesterday against the Reds and Whites and seemed to have a good feel for it. He'll be on the bench and maybe play a few minutes. He won't start. But it might come out in a few minutes.'' (From the German newspaper ``tz'')

In addition to Alaba, there have been a number of players who have left the defense, such as Eder Militão and Daniel Carvajal, and it is of great importance to Real that Alaba, who can demonstrate high-quality performances in multiple positions, is nearing his return. That's good news.
