Real Madrid have confirmed that defender Eder Militao is facing a potential spell on the sidelines after sustaining discomfort in his left thigh.
Real Madrid Concerned as Eder Militao Faces Thigh Injury Setback
The injury, first felt during the Madrid derby, has raised concerns about his availability for their upcoming clash against Villarreal on Saturday.
Militao initially brushed off the pain after a long pass during the game against Atletico Madrid, but the discomfort returned during Real Madrid’s recent Champions League match against Lille.
The Brazilian was forced to request an early substitution, leaving fans anxious about his condition.
Manager Carlo Ancelotti, cautious about worsening the situation, replaced Militao with midfielder Aurelien Tchouameni as an emergency centre-back for the final phase of the game.
Militao spent the rest of the match on the bench with an ice pack on his left thigh.
Though initial reports suggest the injury isn’t severe, there’s growing uncertainty over his participation in Brazil’s upcoming international fixtures.
The club’s medical staff is set to perform further evaluations to assess the extent of the damage and determine whether Militao will need time off for recovery.
Real Madrid fans are holding their breath as the team prepares for crucial fixtures both domestically and internationally.
Militao’s presence has been pivotal at the back, and any prolonged absence could pose a significant challenge for Los Blancos as they chase silverware this season.
With tests scheduled in the coming hours, the club hopes for good news regarding their star defender’s recovery.
