Alaba (knee) is expected to train with the group following the break and will be fit by mid-January, according to manager Carlo Ancelotti. "Alaba is starting to train a little bit. He'll be back with the group after the break and he'll be able to play again by mid-January."
ANALYSIS
Alaba has received a very positive update, with the defender now expected to return in the month of January. This is great news but shouldn't be surprising, as he has been training again since the start of December and will join the group following the break. He will hope everything goes to plan after around a year out, as he should contend for starting time once fit.
