Real Madrid's key defender Militao may miss the team's next match due to injury
Real Madrid's key defender Éder Militão may miss the team's upcoming match due to an injury.
Details: According to The Athletic, the defender is experiencing discomfort in his left thigh and will undergo medical tests to assess the severity of the injury.
Militão picked up the injury during the match against Atlético and played with issues in the Champions League game against Lille. Now, the Brazilian risks missing Saturday’s La Liga clash against Villarreal.
The 26-year-old is a crucial part of Real Madrid’s defense, and the club cannot afford to lose him for an extended period. The team is hopeful that the injury is minor and that Militão will return to action soon.
Meanwhile, Aurélien Tchouaméni is expected to start as a central defender in place of Militão if he is unable to play against Villarreal.
Reminder: Yesterday, Real Madrid suffered their first defeat of the season in the Champions League, losing 1-0 to Lille.
