    Brazil's Militao FIFA World Cup Hopes End After Hamstring Operation

    Militao FIFA World Cup: Eder Militao has been ruled out of the FIFA World Cup 2026 after the Real Madrid defender was advised to undergo surgery for a hamstring injury sustained earlier this week.

    According to a report by Xinhua, the Brazilian international picked up the injury during Real Madrid’s 2-1 win over Deportivo Alaves on Tuesday. Militao was hurt while jumping for a header, and although the issue did not initially appear serious, further medical examinations on Saturday revealed the extent of the damage.

    Real Madrid confirmed on Thursday that tests conducted by the club’s medical team diagnosed Militao with a muscle injury in the biceps femoris of his left leg. While the club initially stated that his return would depend on how the injury progressed, early expectations suggested a recovery period of around a month, which would have ruled him out for the remainder of the La Liga season but kept him in contention for international duty.
