Real Madrid expect to have an important defender back after the international break due to injury fears

Real Madrid expect to have an important defender back after the international break due to injury fears

Real Madrid has four key players who were unable to join their respective national teams due to physical problems. Kylian Mbappe was not called up by France, while Andriy Lunin did not meet with Ukraine because he was ill with a virus. In the case of Eder Militao and Vinicius Junior, both are struggling with knocks, which is why they are not with Brazil.

Militao’s case was struggling with a thigh problem he suffered against Lille last week. This has resulted in him being unavailable for Brazil, but fortunately for Real Madrid he is not expected to miss any action.

According to Arancha Rodriguez, Militao is expected to be out for just 10 days. This means they can return in time for Real Madrid’s game against Celta Vigo, the first game after the international break.

Carlo Ancelotti will be happy about that, although he may want to rest Militao for the trip to Balaidos, as Real Madrid host Barcelona in the first El Clasico game of the season the following weekend.
