Real Madrid fans have been holding their breath since Eder Militao’s devastating injury during the team’s 4-0 victory over Osasuna earlier this season.
Eder Militao sets sights on Club World Cup return after ACL Injury
The Brazilian centre-back tore his ACL for the second time in his career, this time in his other knee, casting doubt over his return for the remainder of the season. But there may be a glimmer of hope on the horizon.
According to a report from MARCA, Militao could be back in time for the prestigious Club World Cup in June.
While the player has not given a definitive timeline for his recovery, sources suggest that he could be fit enough to make a comeback for the tournament.
The possibility of Militao’s return is especially significant for a team that has relied on his strength and composure at the back in recent years.
Though his injury was a severe blow to both Militao and Real Madrid, the club remains fully confident in his long-term value.
The 26-year-old has been an essential part of the defensive line, forming a solid partnership with Antonio Rudiger and providing invaluable stability.
His potential recovery brings renewed optimism, not just for the team’s defense, but for the spirit of the squad as a whole.
Militao’s injury came shortly after Dani Carvajal’s own ACL setback, and the two defenders now share a common goal: to return to action in time for the Club World Cup.
However, Real Madrid is making it clear that neither player will be rushed in their rehabilitation.
While the Club World Cup is a major objective, the club’s focus remains on ensuring that both Militao and Carvajal make full recoveries before returning to the pitch.
For now, fans will continue to hope that Militao’s determination and hard work pay off in the months ahead, and that he can return to the pitch to help Real Madrid defend its title at the Club World Cup.
