Real Madrid have been dealt another worrying injury blow after defender \u00c9der Milit\u00e3o was forced off the pitch with a potential new muscle problem during their latest outing at the Santiago Bernab\u00e9u. The Brazilian centre-back looked visibly distressed as he clutched his leg and had to be supported by two members of Madrid\u2019s medical staff while leaving the field.<\/p>\n
Milit\u00e3o, who has only recently returned from a long-term ACL injury, appeared in significant discomfort, raising immediate concerns within the club about the severity of this latest setback. His expression as he exited suggested that he felt the issue instantly, prompting Madrid to act quickly to avoid any further damage.<\/p>\n
Antonio R\u00fcdiger came on to replace him, reshaping Xabi Alonso\u2019s\u00a0defensive setup for the remainder of the match. The German defender has been a consistent performer throughout the season, but the loss of Milit\u00e3o adds to the growing list of fitness concerns that Madrid have managed in recent months.<\/p>\n
