Real Madrid issued an official statement announcing the injury of Eder Militao and his inability to join the Brazilian national team camp during the current international break.
According to the statement, Militao suffers from a muscle tear in the quadriceps muscle in his left leg, and the case will remain under follow-up.
According to the newspaper “Marca”, the Brazilian player’s injury is not serious, and all he needs is rest, so it was agreed with Brazil that he will not travel and continue in Madrid.
Militao will only be absent for 10 days, which means that he will be ready to play the Celta Vigo match scheduled for Saturday, October 19, and thus there is no risk of him catching up with the Clasico on the 26th.
Militao’s importance has doubled for Real Madrid after Carvajal’s injury, as he has become coach Carlo Ancelotti’s third choice in the right-back position after Lucas Vazquez and Fede Valverde.
It remains to be noted that Militao is the second Brazilian from Real Madrid to miss the international break after Vinicius Junior, who suffers from a neck injury.
