Spanish Real Madrid suffered a second blow at the start of the new season, after its Brazilian defender Eder Militao ruptured the anterior cruciate ligament of his left knee, during Saturday’s victory over Athletic Bilbao 2-0 in the first stage of the league.
Real Madrid statement Sunday:
“After the examinations carried out on our player, Militao, he was diagnosed with a rupture of the anterior cruciate ligament of his left knee.” “The player will undergo surgery in the next few days.”
The curse of injuries
Real had previously lost the efforts of its Belgian goalkeeper, Thibaut Courtois, on the eve of the start of the new season, as he also suffered a tear in the anterior cruciate ligament of his left knee.
And unlike Courtois, who was injured during training, Militao was injured Saturday in the opening match for his team in the local league, while trying to intercept a ball and immediately fell to the ground.
The Brazilian left the stadium with the help of the medical staff, leaving his place for German Antonio Rudiger.
“We are worried and we don’t rule anything out,” Italian coach Carlo Ancelotti said in the post-match press conference.
It is expected that the 25-year-old Brazilian will be absent from the stadiums for several months, similar to his colleague, goalkeeper Courtois, amid the possibility that the season has ended for them.
