Real Madrid have confirmed that Eder Militao is injured after medical tests revealed a muscle injury in the adductor magnus of his right leg.
“Following tests carried out today … he has been diagnosed with a muscle injury in the adductor magnus of his right leg. His recovery will be monitored,” the club said in an official statement.
The injury was picked up during his time with Brazil. Militao had returned from international duty, and the diagnosis now looks likely to rule him out for about two weeks.
This estimate is supported by reports from Spanish media outlets. His absence comes at a difficult time for Los Blancos.
The team’s defensive depth is already stretched. Veteran Antonio Rudiger remains unavailable, and younger defender Dean Huijsen has also been dealing with fitness concerns.
The Brazil international has been a pillar for Real in recent seasons, bringing physicality and composure to the back line. Losing him, even temporarily, forces the coaching staff, led by Xabi Alonso to shuffle their defensive setup and trust less experienced options.
The Spanish giants will now monitor his recovery closely to determine when he can return to training and match action. The club’s medical team will carry out regular check-ins before approving his comeback.
For now, the backline faces another test. But if Militao recovers smoothly, he could be back in time for key upcoming fixtures.
