Fuchs confident Alaba will fight-back at Real Madrid

The defender is recovering from ACL surgery, which he underwent in January.

Asked about his former Austria teammate's recovery, Fuchs told AS: “The important thing at his age, is not to rush a return, to be sure that if you come back, it’s because you’re at your best.

“You have to be patient, as a player you want to be on the pitch all the time, and in every training session, sometimes injuries make you a better player.

"I think Alaba is going to come back stronger.”
