Real Madrid defender David Alaba in injury scare against Osasuna as he is taken off with hamstring strain just six days until Champions League semi-final clash against Manchester City - but Carlo Ancelotti insists the substitution was just a 'precaution'

David Alaba was taken off with a suspected hamstring strain in an injury concern for Real Madrid just six days before their Champions League semi-final first leg against Manchester City.

The Austrian scored the opening goal in Madrid's 3-1 win at Osasuna on Wednesday night, a result which left Carlo Ancelotti's side needing just four more points to clinch the LaLiga title.

Yet after Marco Asensio's scored Madrid's second on the stroke of half-time, the Austrian centre back went down clutching his left hamstring.
