Eder Militao - Soccer News, Rumors, & Updates

Running on grass Militao (hamstring) was spotted running on grass Saturday, according to Madrid Xtra.

Impact Militao is closing in on his return from the hamstring injury that has kept him sidelined since early December, showing strong progress Saturday when he was spotted back running on grass. That is a major lift for the Merengues, as the Brazilian center-back is tracking toward a comeback in the coming weeks and should give the back line a significant boost once he is back at full throttle. Before going down, Militao had locked in 15 starts in 16 appearances across all competitions, racking up 24 tackles and 66 clearances while helping anchor five clean sheets.

Real Madrid's next centre-back? Los Blancos planning transfer raid for Borussia Dortmund star

Expected to return in March Militao (hamstring) is expected to return in March, according to Sport.

Impact Militao suffered a hamstring tear in his left leg with proximal tendon involvement and is expected to be sidelined for at least another month as he continues his recovery. This is a major blow for the Merengues, as he is a regular starter in central defense when healthy, and his extended absence is forcing adjustments along the backline, with Raul Asencio seeing increased minutes in that role until Antonio Rudiger (knee) also returns from injury.

Suffers leg tear Militao suffered a tear to his left biceps femoris with proximal tendon involvement and is ruled out for the time being, the club announced.

Impact Militao was expected to have suffered an important injury, and it was confirmed on Monday after further scans since he suffered a tear to his left biceps femoris with proximal tendon involvement, forcing him to the sidelines again. This kind of injuries require several weeks and sometimes months to recover from, suggesting a change will have to be made in the backline. Antonio Rudiger is likely going to take a larger role in central defense until the Brazilian returns fully fit.

Suffers hamsting injury Militao suffered a hamstring injury and was forced off in the 24th minute of Sunday's 2-0 defeat against Celta Vigo, according to The Athletic.

Impact Militao couldn't make it to the middle of the first half in Sunday's defeat against the Celeste since he suffered a new injury that seems to be linked to his hamstring. This is a big blow for the Merengues since he recently came back from a groin injury and started the last three games, highlighting his important role in the backline. The club will hope to have Dean Huijsen (undisclosed) fit for Wednesday's Champions League clash against Manchester City, or coach Xabi Alonso will have to find a solution with Aurelien Tchouameni playing in the backline or Federico Valverde playing at right-back while Raul Asencio takes a spot in central defense.

Finds starting XI Militao (groin) is in the starting XI for Sunday's match against Girona.

Impact Militao is back fit with the team and immediately an option for them, with the Brazilian starting in the defense. He has only missed three seasons all season when an option, so he should remain in a central defense starting role moving forward.

Available against Girona Militao (groin) is back available for Sunday's clash against Girona, coach Xabi Alonso said in the press conference, according to Madrid Xtra. "Militao is back."

Impact Militao has fully recovered from the groin injury he suffered during the international break with Brazil that ruled him out in the last two games and is back available for Sunday's clash against Girona. The center-back has been a regular starter this season under coach Xabi Alonso and could return directly into the starting XI if deemed fit enough to do so, although seeing some minutes off bench to prepare the midweek game against Athletic seems more likely to happen.

Adductor injury confirmed Militao (groin) has been confirmed to have suffered a muscle injury to his adductor and is out for the time being, according to his club.

Impact Miltao suffered an injury over the break, and that has been confirmed after his testing Wednesday, as the Brazilian picked up an adductor injury. This is unfortunate for the defender, as he was finally healthy to begin this season and maintained a starting role after long absences in the past two seasons. He is expected to miss around two weeks as he recovers, leaving him out for three league matches and a UCL game. That said, a return will be expected near the start of December, with Dean Huijsen and Raul Asencio likely to start in the center of the defense in his place.

Suffers groin discomfort Militao was forced off in the 60th minute of Tuesday's 1-1 draw against Tunisia after suffering from groin discomfort, according to Mario Cortegana from The Athletic.

Impact Militao will undergo examinations on Wednesday in Madrid to determine the extent of the groin discomfort he suffered against Tunisia on Tuesday. The center-back was forced off in the 60th minute but remained on the bench, suggesting the issue should not be too significant. That said, he will hope to be available for Sunday's clash against Elche since he is a regular starter in the backline under coach Xabi Alonso, and a potential absence of the Brazilian would force a change in the starting XI, with Raul Asencio likely replacing him if he misses out.

Returns to bench Militao (ankle) is on the bench for Sunday's match against Rayo Vallecano.

Impact Militao was thought to have only been dealt a minor injury, and that has come to fruition, with the defender finding a spot on the bench to face Rayo. The club appears to be treating his injury cautiously with his spot on the bench, as he did start in their past six games, likely to return to that role after the international break.

Injury probably minor Militao (ankle) suffered an injury in training on Saturday morning but is in the squad list for Sunday's clash against Rayo Vallecano, the club posted.

Impact Militao needed treatment during Saturday's training session after suffering an apparent injury to his ankle but the center-back was added to the squad list for Sunday's clash against Rayo Vallecano a few hours later, suggesting the issue is probably minor. If he had to start the game on the bench, Raul Asencio and Ferland Mendy are the likely options to replace him since the frenchman has been tested in the central defense by coach Xabi Alonso in training.

Suffers apparent ankle injury Militao suffered an apparent ankle injury in training on Saturday, according to Madrid Zone.

Impact Militao was spotted receiving medical treatment during training on Saturday after apparently injuring his ankle. This is bad news for the Merengues just one day before their clash with Rayo Vallecano. The Brazilian will likely be assessed in the coming hours, but if he has to miss the game, a change will need to be made in the backline, with Raul Asencio the main option to step in.
