Militao's Injury: Real Madrid's Defensive Crisis Deepens

Real Madrid's defensive unit has been dealt a significant blow as Eder Militao sustained a thigh injury in the 21st minute of their recent match against Celta Vigo. The Brazilian defender had to be helped off the pitch, unable to walk unassisted, after collapsing while tracking back. This incident is particularly concerning given Militao's recent return from a lengthy injury layoff.

The timing of Militao's latest injury is critical, as Real Madrid was counting on him for their upcoming Champions League clash. While the exact severity is yet to be determined, initial assessments suggest he could miss several weeks of action, compounding the team's existing defensive vulnerabilities. Antonio Rüdiger was brought on as his replacement, himself just recovering from a separate injury.
