Bhubaneswar: Real Madrid have been handed a timely boost after medical examinations confirmed that Eder Militao has avoided a serious injury following his early withdrawal against Atletico Madrid.
Contusion Diagnosed, Not A Major Injury
The 27-year-old Brazilian centre-back was substituted at half-time in the 2-5 defeat, raising concerns of a potential ankle problem. However, subsequent tests revealed only a strong contusion, eliminating fears of long-term damage.
Recovery Timeline Just Two To Three Days
Club sources confirmed that Militao is expected to recover fully within two to three days, making him available for selection much sooner than anticipated. His quick return will be a relief for head coach Xabi Alonso, who is already managing several defensive absences.
Crucial Boost Ahead Of Upcoming Fixtures
While his participation in the next Champions League clash against Kairat Almaty remains uncertain, Militao’s recovery ensures he will be fit for the crucial run of fixtures ahead. For Real Madrid, avoiding another long-term injury in their backline is a major positive as they look to maintain momentum in both domestic and European competitions.
