Real Madrid returned to training this Thursday, after a day off following their victory over Benfica in the Champions League. Eder Militão, Jude Bellingham, and Rodrygo have not yet recovered from their respective injuries and are expected to miss the next match for Los Merengues.
Of the three injured players, Rodrygo was the only one who had a chance to return to the field this Saturday for the Spanish Championship. With a right hamstring injury, the Brazilian was expected to be out for about 15 days, but he is still not completely healthy.
Unable to play since December 2025, Militão suffered a severe rupture of the biceps femoris muscle in his left leg and is not expected to return anytime soon. Jude Bellingham, who left the field in tears during the match against Rayo Vallecano at the beginning of the month, suffered a tendon injury and is also expected to be sidelined for a longer period.
