👀 Real Madrid confirms injuries to Militão and Arda Güler | OneFootball

Real Madrid confirmed this Thursday (23) the injury of center-back Éder Militão.

The Brazil national team player suffered a muscle injury and will be sidelined from Álvaro Arbeloa’s team for the next few weeks.

According to the Spanish club’s medical department, tests detected a muscle injury in the player’s left thigh.

A key player and undisputed starter in Real Madrid’s defense, Militão will now begin a physiotherapy process, and his return to the pitch will depend on his daily progress.

What is certain is that the Brazilian has already been completely ruled out for the team’s next match against Betis.

The coaching staff’s main concern now is the schedule at the start of May.

The type of injury suffered by the defender usually requires a few weeks of treatment, which puts a huge question mark over his presence in the big clásico against FC Barcelona, scheduled for May 10 at 9 p.m.

For the Brazil national team, Éder Militão should not be an issue for the World Cup.

However, the center-back’s physical condition raises concerns, since Militão has struggled a lot with injuries in recent seasons.

Arda Güler suffers from the same problem

In the same statement in which it updated the situation of the Brazilian center-back, Real Madrid’s medical department reported that young Turkish star Arda Güler is also receiving treatment.

The midfielder suffered an almost identical injury to Militão’s: a muscle injury to the biceps femoris, but in his right leg.

Like the Brazilian, Güler will miss the match against Betis and is doubtful for the clash against Barcelona.
