Bayern confirms Alaba injury blow
Carlo Ancelotti will be without either of his preferred left-back options after Bayern Munich confirmed an injury lay-off for David Alaba.
Bayern Munich's run of injuries has continued with versatile full-back David Alaba set for a stint on the sidelines.
Alaba suffered an ankle knock in Austria's World Cup qualifying clash with Georgia and had to be withdrawn prior to half-time.
The length of the lay-off has not yet been determined, but it leaves head coach Carlo Ancelotti without either of his natural left-back options as Juan Bernat continues his recovery from ankle surgery.
However, there is some good news for the Italian with midfielder Sebastian Rudy cleared of injury.
The 27 year-old was taken off as a precaution in Germany's 6-0 rout of Norway but has been deemed fit to re-join training.
