Real Madrid defender brings forward injury return date
Real Madrid defender brings forward injury return date Real Madrid have dealt with many injury problems this season, and among the most difficult has been Eder Militao’s. The Brazilian defender has been out since December with a serious hamstring issue, and while his absence has been significantly felt over the last four months, he is now closing in on a return to action. Last week, Militao resumed training, and he has been involved with his teammates in recent days.
As per Diario AS , he is determined to make his return after the international break when Real Madrid travel to Son Moix to face Mallorca. Militao has been pencilled in to return from injury in April, and as things stand, this will be spot on. But rather than later in the month, he hopes to be involved in the early stages of the season run-in, which kicks off at Son Moix.
Real Madrid will ease Militao back in Militao may be desperate to return to the starting line-up as soon as possible, especially as he will want to prove his fitness ahead of the 2026 World Cup, but Real Madrid and Alvaro Arbeloa are clear that he will not been rushed back. He is unlikely to be able to start either leg of the Champions League quarter-final tie against Bayern Munich, but if Los Blancos progress, he would be fine to face Paris Saint-Germain or Liverpool in the last four. Despite the fact that Real Madrid will not rush Militao back, they do need him as soon as possible.
They have regularly been unable to rotate in central defence due to various injury problems that Antonio Rudiger, Dean Huijsen, Raul Asencio and David Alaba have had at different times. All four are available right now, although the performance levels will go up a notch when the returning Brazilian is back in the team.
