Militao suffers a complete rupture of the anterior cruciate ligament with involvement of both menisci

Terrible news for Real Madrid. Militao has suffered a complete rupture of the anterior cruciate ligament with involvement of both menisci in his right leg, as stated in the medical report issued by the club. The centre-back will miss the rest of the season.

"After the tests carried out on our player Eder Militao by the Real Madrid Medical Services, he has been diagnosed with a complete rupture of the anterior cruciate ligament with involvement of both menisci in the right leg. Militao will undergo surgery in the coming days."

Militao already knows what it is like to suffer a serious knee injury, although on this occasion he has damaged the 'good' one, the right one. In the 26th minute, the Brazilian was looking for a cross into the area, his foot got stuck in the turf and, after failing to get a shot on goal, he fell to the ground. The stadium froze as they saw the center-back writhing in pain and clutching his right knee. There was no way the player could get up off the ground and the stretcher had to come in to take him away.

The players were stunned and, after the match, were still affected. "I'm very sad about the injuries, it's a shame that it happens to us so many times, hopefully we can stay strong for them. I'm very happy with the goals, of course, but the feeling I have is sad for Militao because he has to go through this again," said Vinicius.In the same vein, Brahim was still on the pitch: "It hurts me to see a teammate cry because it breaks my heart, you come from a long injury and it's their turn and it seems that it can be longer than normal... we will miss him".
