The expectation is that Militão will be sidelined for a period of three to four months. However, in an official statement, Real Madrid refrained from specifying a timeline for the Brazilian’s return.

Adding up the last two seasons, Militão has played only 31 matches, a number well below expectations. During this period, the defender suffered two serious injuries, had to undergo knee surgeries, and had his playing streak interrupted more than once.

With this new physical setback, the defender’s progress for the 2025/26 season is once again compromised. Even so, the expectation is that he will be fit to return in time to compete in the 2026 World Cup for the Brazilian National Team.
