Real Madrid supporters are anxious following the announcement of a muscular injury to Brazilian defender Eder Militao, which intensifies the club’s injury concerns.
Militao re-injured himself during Real Madrid’s 2-0 victory over Villarreal, despite being initially ruled out of the match due to an earlier injury sustained in a Champions League game against Lille.
This injury strikes at a pivotal moment for Los Blancos, who are facing challenges in their La Liga campaign.
The Brazilian defender has withdrawn from Brazil’s upcoming international matches, raising doubts among Madrid fans about his availability for vital games against Celta Vigo, Borussia Dortmund, and the highly anticipated El Clásico against Barcelona.
Injury challenges continue for Madrid
Militao isn’t the only player affected. Vinicius Junior has also stepped back from Brazil’s squad due to neck pain sustained in the Villarreal match.
While Vinicius is likely to return for the Celta game, the list of injured players for Madrid continues to expand, with Thibaut Courtois, David Alaba, and Dani Carvajal also out, creating significant gaps in the lineup.
Kylian Mbappe, another essential player, is taking a break during the international break after being omitted from the France team to recuperate from a recent injury.
Real Madrid has encountered a rocky start to the season, managing to secure just one victory in their last three competitions. Nevertheless, Carlo Ancelotti’s team sits in second place in La Liga, trailing Barcelona by a mere three points after nine matches.
As Ancelotti’s squad strives to compete, Madridistas are hoping their team can endure this challenging period until their key players return. With Militao’s absence, Ancelotti will need to devise strategies to maintain a strong defense and keep their title ambitions alive.
Although injuries are accumulating, Real Madrid fans are confident their team has a tendency to rise to the occasion when it matters most.
