This is the only downside for Real Madrid at the start of the season. After successfully entering the fray this Saturday on the lawn of Bilbao at the start of the 2023-2024 La Liga season (2-0), the people of Madrid lost Eder Militao to injury. Coming into contact with Oihan Sancet, the Brazilian defender slipped and then twisted in pain, holding his knee. An important member of the Merengue defense, the former Porto player was replaced by Antonio Rudiger.
However, the absence could be long for Militao, as Ancelotti hinted after the match: “Militão suffered a sprained knee. It doesn’t look pretty…” After losing Thibaut Courtois for a long time after a cruciate ligament rupture, Real Madrid will have to deal without one of their defensive players for a long time. The leaders of the most successful club in the history of the Champions League will surely have to be active in the coming days to find a replacement for the Brazilian rock.
