Éder Militao left Real Madrid’s match against Celta Vigo on Sunday at the Santiago Bernabéu Stadium, suffering an injury that appeared serious and very worrying.
After 24 minutes, Militao experienced pain and fell to the ground. The medical staff had to attend to him, but the Brazilian player was unable to continue the match and left the field.
It is clear that the injury is not minor, as Militao was unable to walk off the pitch.
According to the newspaper AS, the initial diagnosis for Militao’s injury is a hamstring strain, the same knee in which he suffered a torn cruciate ligament, making things very bleak for the 31-year-old.
Initially, Militao is expected to be sidelined for a considerable period. Negative predictions suggest he may require surgery and be out for at least two months.
Militao will undergo further tests on Monday morning to determine the nature of the injury and the treatment program he will follow to recover.
It is worth noting that Real Madrid is suffering from a clear shortage of players in the center-back position due to Dean Hoesen’s injury and David Alaba’s unavailability, leaving Antonio Rudiger as the only available option, especially since Raul Asensio is playing at right-back due to injuries to both Dani Carvajal and Trent Alexander-Arnold.
