€60m Real Madrid defender suffers a muscle tear while on national duty

Real Madrid started the season with a fairly healthy squad. Both Thibaut Courtois and Eder Militao recovered from their long-term injuries at the end of the last season, and only David Alaba remained in the infirmary as the season started.

However, Eduardo Camavinga went down with an injury in training right at the start of the season. Jude Bellingham also soon followed him to the infirmary, and only in the last week, three more players have entered this list: Aurelien Tchouameni, Dani Ceballos, and Ferland Mendy.

Meanwhile, the Merengues’ injury problems are only increasing, as MARCA reports that defender Eder Militao suffered a small muscle tear in his right leg while training with the Brazilian national team.

With this injury, the defender will return to Madrid to be treated by the club’s doctors. The Real Madrid medical team will also carry out further tests on the €60 million-rated player to gain a better idea of the problem suffered by him and obtain a definitive diagnosis.

The Brazilian national team’s medical services performed an MRI on him and found a small muscle tear. With this diagnosis, he is set to remain on the sidelines for at least the next 10-15 days. Thus, he is ruled out for the match against Real Sociedad.

Thus, this injury creates further problems for Carlo Ancelotti especially in the centre of the defence, where Alaba is already injured. Nacho left the team at the end of the last season, and thus only Rudiger is left as the available centre-back for the Italian tactician.

Furthermore, Mendy, Ceballos, and Tchouameni all also suffered injuries in the game against Real Betis last Sunday. Mendy and Tchouameni had left for their national team’s training camps, but both returned to the Valdebebas on Tuesday to begin their recovery process at Real Madrid.
