Victim of an injury to the biceps femoris of his left thigh, Eder Militão will not play again for the season and will even miss the 2026 World Cup. A real blow for the Brazilian defender of Real Madrid who has not been spared serious injuries during his career. But according to the doctor who operated on him in Finland, Lasse Lempainen, Militão had no choice but to play the pool.
“I had no other choice. Militão is my patient and we have a relationship of trust between doctor and patient. I can’t reveal anything that hasn’t already been made public. What I can say is that his injury was very serious. The only option was to operate: with such a hamstring injury, he could not continue his professional career at the highest level. The decision was clear. We very much regret that he will not be able to participate in the World Cup this summer because of this.he declared in Marca.
