Eder Militao’s season ends as injuries persist for third year

Real Madrid key defender Eder Militao saw his season come to an end a month ago after another injury blow, marking his third consecutive year with major injury setbacks.

Militao has been a regular starter in Real Madrid's defence, and his absence removes a key component from the back line.

The club confirmed that the latest injury rules him out for the remainder of the campaign, adding to a series of knocks suffered this season.

Over the past three seasons Militao has missed significant portions of each campaign, limiting his on‑field contributions.

Real Madrid have contested 179 matches across all competitions during the period referenced, with Militao featuring in only a small share of those games.

The team will have to rely on other defenders to fill the gap as they approach the final stages of the season.

Militao will focus on rehabilitation with the aim of returning fully fit for the next campaign.
