Spanish newspaper 'Mundo Deportivo' revealed that Real Madrid defender David Alaba will miss his team's next two matches against Juventus in the Champions League and Barcelona in the Clasico, after suffering from severe fatigue in his right soleus muscle.

The newspaper explained that the medical tests the player underwent today did not show any muscle injury, but confirmed that he is experiencing severe fatigue in his right leg, which will keep him off the field for a period ranging from seven to ten days.

Alaba had left Real Madrid's last match against Getafe at halftime after feeling muscular discomfort, with the club's medical staff later confirming that his condition does not allow him to participate in the upcoming two matches, marking another setback for the team's coach Xabi Alonso ahead of two crucial encounters this season.

Alaba's absence comes at a critical time for Real Madrid, as the team is suffering from a shortage of defensive players due to recurring injuries, which poses a tough challenge for the coaching staff to restore defensive balance in the upcoming matches that may play an important role in shaping the season.
