Real Madrid defender suffers serious injury ahead of Man City clash 🥶 | OneFootball

The defense is decimated.

This Sunday, Real Madrid hosted Celta Vigo as part of the 15th matchday of the league. A match that turned into a nightmare with a 0-2 defeat, two red cards, and above all, the injury of a key player.

Rather closely contested in the first half, the match took a real turn when Eder Militao collapsed suddenly after a defensive run in the 21st minute.

Clearly injured at the back of his thigh, the Brazilian defender could no longer walk on his own and had to be helped off by two members of the Madrid staff.

As a reminder, Militao was coming back from a long injury layoff and Real had hoped to count on him against Manchester City next Wednesday in the Champions League. 

While the nature of his injury remains to be determined, The Athletic reports that Real Madrid is very worried about their defender, who could miss several weeks of competition.

As a reminder, Trent Alexander-Arnold, Dean Huijsen, David Alaba, and Daniel Carvajal are already unavailable for Madrid’s defense.

In your opinion, should Real Madrid sign a defender this winter?
