Real Madrid center-back, David Alaba suffered a torn ACL in Los Blancos’ La Liga clash with Valencia on Sunday evening, the club has confirmed.

Alaba will undergo surgery in the coming days and will miss the remainder of the season. Madrid, meanwhile, may find themselves having to dip into the transfer market in January to bring in cover.
