Austria have confirmed that Real Madrid defender David Alaba has withdrawn from the squad for October's international break to focus on his recovery from injury.

Centre-back has proven to be a real area of concern for Madrid manager Carlo Ancelotti, who lost star defender Eder Militao to an ACL injury just 50 minutes into the current campaign.

The 31-year-old has missed Madrid's last three games with a groin injury but has made a light return to training in the past few days.
