Bayern Munich's David Alaba ruled out for foreseeable future
Bayern Munich defender David Alaba has been ruled out for the foreseeable future with an ankle injury picked up on international duty with Austria.
After injuring his ankle in a challenge during Austria's 1-1 FIFA World Cup qualifying draw with Georgia in Vienna, Alaba was withdrawn after 38 minutes.
Following tests on Wednesday in Munich, the 25-year-old's left foot was confirmed as having suffered damage and the left-back will be unavailable to Carlo Ancelotti for an indefinite period of time.
