A setback for the ÖFB star! Alaba is injured! Bitter diagnosis after the Udinese disgrace

David Alaba, a 34-year-old Austrian football player and captain of the Austrian Football Association (ÖFB), has suffered another injury setback while playing for his new club Udinese Calcio. According to the Italian newspaper 'Gazzetta dello Sport,' Alaba will miss at least ten days due to muscle issues sustained during Udinese's 0:3 defeat against Lecce. This marks his first start since joining Udinese, but he was substituted at halftime due to the injury. Udinese coach Kosta Runjaic initially described the substitution as a precautionary measure, but it has now been confirmed that Alaba suffered a calf muscle injury. The injury comes after a prolonged period of rest as Alaba worked to regain fitness with Udinese. Fans' patience appears to be wearing thin, especially after the team's poor performance and subsequent criticism of the coaching staff.

Club in crisis Master coach to take over: New coach for Alaba?

Udinese Calcio, the Italian football club where Austrian international David Alaba plays, is currently facing a crisis after five consecutive losses and a poor start to the season. The team has only four points after seven matches and sits in 16th place. Current coach Kosta Runjaic may soon lose his position, with potential replacement Stefano Pioli being considered. Pioli, a well-known figure in Italian football who recently led AC Milan to the league title, has already been in contact with Udinese officials. Alaba, who recently joined Udinese, faced criticism after his debut match and reportedly suffered a calf injury, adding to the challenges for both him and the team.
