Real Madrid, new official disaster

Real Madrid travel to Almeria with a change in defense following Eder Militao’s injury.

Militao was forced off in Madrid’s first game of the season as the visitors won 2-0 at Athletic Club.

Initial fears have proven correct for Militao and the Brazil international is now set to miss the rest of the season while recovering.

Militao’s absence will necessitate a change from Carlo Ancelotti in Andalucia, with Antonio Rudiger set to replace him in the line of defence, according to reports from Diario AS.

Ancelotti confirmed in his pre-match press conference a concern over Eduardo Camavinga, with the French star missing training, but he will travel with the squad tomorrow.

If Camavinga recovers from a minor injury, Ancelotti could keep the same starting XI as at Bilbao, with Rudiger in place of Militao as the only change for the away team.
