Real Madrid thrashed Osasuna 4-0 in the 13th round of La Liga. Despite the successful result, this match turned into a true disaster for Carlo Ancelotti in terms of injuries.
In the 20th minute of the match against Osasuna, Rodrigo was substituted due to a serious injury. Ten minutes later, Real faced another setback. Defender Éder Militão suffered an injury. Furthermore, Lucas Vázquez did not return for the second half due to a knock.
The Madrid club issued an official medical report on Militão after the match.
Details: After conducting tests, Real confirmed that Militão suffered a complete rupture of the anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) along with involvement of both menisci in his right knee. The Brazilian will undergo surgery in the coming days.
This is a serious injury, with an expected recovery time of 8-9 months, according to insider Fabrizio Romano.
For context: Real Madrid approached the Osasuna match in less-than-ideal morale. The "Blancos" had lost to Barcelona 0-4 in La Liga and to Milan 1-3 in the UEFA Champions League.
In this match, star Englishman Jude Bellingham scored for the "Royal Club" for the first time in 179 days.
