Real Madrid defender David Alaba faces another setback due to a calf injury, sidelining him from the Club World Cup as he recovers from a prior meniscus operation. Coach Xabi Alonso noted Alaba's recovery requires caution. Additionally, several key teammates are also recovering, including Dani Carvajal and Éder Militão. Young forward Gonzalo García has stepped up in the absence of star players, contributing two goals as Madrid navigates a challenging tournament schedule, including an imminent match against Juventus.
David is taking a bit longer [to recover]. After the [meniscus] operation we need to be cautious and patient, so step by step, we'll wait a bit longer.
Ferland is still a long way from being on the pitch. Eduardo is taking great steps forward in his recovery, hopefully we'll have him back -- I don't know in the next game, or if we go further.
