Forced off in Super Cup Militao was forced off with a muscular issue during Wednesday's Super Cup clash with Valencia.

Impact Militao was tended to by the medical staff but was unable to carry on Wednesday. The defender was replaced by Ferland Mendy, who isn't a like-for-like option in central defense, but could see more playing time if the injury to Militao proves to be serious. Militao's first chance to return is a Sunday trip to Athletic Club.

In 15 appearances between the league and UCL, Militao has kept just one clean sheet and scored twice. Despite a less-than-ideal defensive record, Militao still earned a place in Brazil's list for the World Cup and has plenty of important games ahead of him.

Impact Militao has started in four straight games but like the rest of his team, an early goal set them back and ended with their first loss of the season.

Keeps clean sheet in win Militao made two blocks, four clearances and three interceptions in Saturday's 1-0 Champions League Final victory against Liverpool. He also won one of two tackles in the match.

Impact Militao, alongside David Alaba and Dani Carvajal, defended heroically Saturday to down Liverpool and win the Champions League for the 14th time in Real Madrid's history. There were doubts about the club's back-line at the start of the season after the departures of longtime starters Sergio Ramos and Raphael Varane in the summer, but 24-year-old Militao stepped up in a big way with a combined 17 clean sheets, 35 blocks, 136 clearances, 78 interceptions and 75 tackles won across La Liga and the UCL this campaign.

Impact Militao picked up his fifth yellow card of the La Liga season last week against Osasuna, meaning he will be suspended for Saturday's game.

Makes two interceptions in win Militao made two interceptions and put one shot off target in 85 minutes of Saturday's 2-1 win over Celta Vigo.

Impact Militao, for whatever reason, was pulled before completing the full 90 so he was unable to add that bonus and make up for a fourth straight match without a clean sheet. Keeping his net empty could prove another tall task against Chelsea, though the Blues are coming off a bad loss to Brentford ahead of their encounter Wednesday.

Makes nine clearances in draw Militao made one tackle (won), nine clearances and two interceptions while helping his side to keep a clean sheet during Saturday's scoreless draw against Villarreal.

Impact Militao was coming from a goal and an assist over his previous two starts, but got back to what he does best here, racking up a game-high nine clearances and keeping opposing forwards at bay for the entire second half.

Logs assist in win Militao provided one assist and kept a clean sheet in Sunday's 1-0 win over Granada.

Impact Militao has played a big role in his side's recent results through one goal and one assist in the last two league games. However, he still has plenty to learn following the Copa del Rey exit against Athletic Club and a tough encounter with Elche in the same competition. Fortunately, this was Militao's first clean sheet in five league starts and could get his defensive game back on track. Up next is a trip to Villarreal, which are tied for the third-most goals scored in La Liga.

Nets equalizer versus Elche Militao scored a goal off two shots (one on target), made two tackles (both won) and one interception and was shown a yellow card during Sunday's 2-2 draw against Elche.

Impact Militao wasn't in high demand on the defensive end, finding some room to support the offense and be a menace on aerial plays. And, during second half's stoppage time, when his side looked destined to lose, the centre back was at the right place to head home Vinicius Junior's perfect cross from the left and draw things level at 2-2. This was the first goal of the season for Militao and he'll try to keep it up during Feb. 5 home match against Granada.
