Real Madrid will be sweating over the fitness of David Alaba for the second-leg of their Champions League last 16 clash against Liverpool.
The Austrian defender was forced off inside half an hour during the first-leg and the scan results have come back to show he has suffered a hamstring injury, according to The Atheltic. Prior to his early exit, the Reds enjoyed success down the Madrid right as Mohamed Salah got beyond the 30-year-old.
However, his replacement Nacho Fernandez thwarted the Egyptian's threat with Carlo Ancelotti's side going on to romp to a 5-2 win over Jurgen Klopp. It remains to be seen whether he will be fit for the return leg in the Spanish capital as he faces a race against time to be in the starting line-up for the showdown when they meet on March 15.
