Real Madrid’s star defender, Éder Militão, has unfortunately faced another injury concern on Tuesday. This latest setback occurred during the club’s recent La Liga fixture against Deportivo Alavés.

Militão was included in the starting lineup for the match, partnering Dean Huijsen in central defense. However, during the first half, the Brazilian international was forced to leave the field due to what appeared to be a muscle problem.

Having recently returned from a lengthy spell on the sidelines with a previous injury, Militão signaled for a substitution and was subsequently replaced by Antonio Rüdiger.

Supporters of Real Madrid and the Brazilian national team will be hoping that this latest issue is not severe and that Militão can avoid another extended period away from the pitch.

Real Madrid Star Suffers Fresh Injury Blow vs Alavés

Real Madrid star Éder Militão has on Tuesday been dealt a fresh setback on the injury front. This comes owing to developments in Los Blancos’ latest La Liga outing. Álvaro Arbeloa’s troops are currently locked in action on the domestic front, in a meeting with Deportivo Alavés. Stopper Militão was afforded a starting berth for the fixture, joining Dean Huijsen at the heart of the hosts’ backline. During the first-half in Spain’s capital, however, disaster struck for the Brazilian international. Not long back from another long-term spell on the sidelines through injury, Militão pulled up with what appeared to be a muscular complaint. From here, the former Porto standout quickly called for a substitution, before being replaced by Antonio Rüdiger. The hope on the part of those of a Real Madrid and Brazil persuasion alike will now be that the issue is not a serious one, with Militão not facing up to any kind of extended absence.
