After Real Madrid: Real Madrid central defender Eder Militao could be set for a lengthy spell on the sidelines after the Brazilian limped out of Sunday's home defeat to Celta Vigo. Militao went to the ground clutching his left hamstring after having chased down Celta forward Pablo Duran, and had to be helped off the pitch in evident pain before being replaced by Antonio Rudiger.
Although the club has yet to publish a medical report, it seems unlikely Militao will play again in 2025, and he has to be considered a serious doubt for the Spanish Supercup, which will be played in Saudi Arabia in early January, reports Xinhua.
Militao has struggled with injuries in recent seasons, needing two knee operations and then suffering another muscle problem that sidelined him for a fortnight in November.
