Real Madrid‘s international break woes continue as Eder Militao faces a potentially serious injury. The Brazilian defender sustained a troubling ailment during a friendly match against Tunisia in Lille on Tuesday. Just two minutes into the game, Militao felt discomfort but chose to remain on the pitch. Unfortunately, his decision to push through the pain proved detrimental.
As the first half progressed, Militao’s condition worsened, and he ultimately succumbed to injury in the 57th minute. After feeling a sharp pain in his right adductor, he crouched down and left the field visibly distressed. Back in Madrid, Xabi Alonso and his coaching staff are already on high alert, as the international break has already seen minor injuries to other players like Kylian Mbappé, Eduardo Camavinga, and Huijsen. However, Militao’s situation appears to be more severe.
The Brazilian Football Confederation has yet to release an official medical report but mentioned that the discomfort stems from his right adductor and may indicate a minor muscle tear. A small silver lining is that Militao did not head straight to the locker room; he remained on the bench to observe the rest of the match. His return to Madrid is imminent, where he will undergo further examinations at the club’s medical center on Wednesday. The results will determine whether Real Madrid should brace for an extended absence or if it is merely a temporary scare.
According to reports from El Chiringuito, there are indications that Militao might be suffering from a strain in his right adductor. “It doesn’t look good,” admitted one journalist following the incident. As fans hold their breath, the implications of this injury could reverberate through Real Madrid’s upcoming fixtures.
With Militao being a key figure in Real Madrid’s defense, his potential absence raises concerns about how it might affect team dynamics and performance in crucial matches ahead.
