Real Madrid has revealed that defender Eder Militao has been having pain in his left thigh, as reported by journalist Guillermo Rai.

It has been said that the injury is not serious at this point, but it is not clear if he will be able to play in Real Madrid’s game against Villarreal on Saturday.

It is also unclear whether Militao will play in any of Brazil’s future international games since no official decision has been made.

How did Militao get lost?

Militão seemingly got hurt during the most recent Madrid match when he hit a long ball and felt some mild pain.

At first, the pain seemed minor, but it came back during last night’s game against Lille, so he asked to be replaced as a safety measure.

Carlo Ancelotti, the coach of Real Madrid, decided to use Aurelien Tchouameni as a substitute centre back for the last thirty minutes of the game because of this. Militao stayed on the bench for the rest of the game so as not to make his situation worse.

What will Militao do next?

Militao was seen with an ice pack on his left thigh, which means that the club’s medical staff is keeping a close eye on things. Militao will likely have medical tests in the next few hours to get a better idea of how bad the injury is.

For better understanding of whether the defender can play in future games or needs more time to heal, these tests are the best way to find out.

At this point, no one knows for sure how bad Militao’s situation is. The club is doing what it needs to do to make sure he is healthy, and he will be checked out by doctors when he gets back to Madrid.

Early signs suggest that neither of his complaints is a big problem. However, more tests will eventually reveal what needs to be done to help him get better.
