The curse of international break injuries continues to haunt Real Madrid, as a third player in the royal club was injured with his national team.
The duo Ferland Mendy and Aurelien Tchouameni left the French national team camp due to injury, and their participation against Real Sociedad next week remains in doubt.
Hours later, Eder Militao left the Brazilian national team camp with a muscle injury.
According to the Spanish media, it is unlikely that Militao will make it to the Sociedad match, which will leave coach Carlo Ancelotti in a real predicament.
With the Brazilian absent, Real Madrid only have Antonio Rudiger and Jesus Vallejo in the center-back position, and the crisis increases with the possible absence of Tchouameni as the temporary third option in this position.
In general, Militao’s absence is not expected to extend for a long time, as initial examinations confirm that he will most likely return in Real’s first match against Stuttgart in the Champions League on September 17.
