Real Madrid’s defender Eder Militao is injured again with the same injury in two years i.e. torn ACL. The defender’s season is over and will not be seen playing for Madrid this season. The player is expected to be out for 9 months as the club confirmed the news on an official statement yesterday.
Real Madrid’s central defender Eder Militao has suffered a season-ending injury for the second time in two years, as he tore his ACL again. The Brazilian’s setback is a tough blow for both the club and fans, as Militao had become a critical part of Madrid’s backline with his aggressive defending and aerial prowess.
The injury, confirmed in an official statement by Real Madrid yesterday, will see Militao sidelined for an estimated nine months. This comes as a significant disruption, as Militao was expected to play a central role in Madrid’s campaign across La Liga and the UEFA Champions League. With this extended recovery period, Madrid will need to reassess its defensive depth, leaning heavily on the likes of Antonio Rudiger and David Alaba to anchor the backline in Militao’s absence.
Militao’s second ACL tear not only raises concerns for his long-term career trajectory but also leaves Madrid with limited options in a season packed with demanding fixtures.
