Real Madrid’s injury woes continue to plague them this season, showing little improvement from last year’s misfortunes.

Much like in the previous campaign, key players find themselves sidelined with fresh injuries, as the medical staff is repeatedly being called into action.

After Aurilien Tchouameni and Ferland Mendy suffered blows during the international break, Eder Militao joined the list of casualties.

The centre-back is set to return to Madrid after pulling his muscle during training with the Brazilian national team.

Real Madrid upset with the situation

Indeed, according to MARCA, Militao’s injury has sparked significant outrage within Real Madrid, as the club faces a recurring issue during international breaks.

Time and again, players depart for national duty in peak condition, only to return sidelined with injuries. This ongoing trend leaves the club’s management exasperated.

Already dealing with a host of fitness concerns and a packed schedule ahead, Los Blancos are increasingly frustrated by the repeated disruptions caused by international breaks.

While the report argues that the Brazilian Federation believes Militao’s injury is minor and that he will be back to full fitness in two weeks, the full extent will not be known until he undergoes tests at Valdebebas tomorrow.

The list of casualties is mounting

Militao’s injury adds to the absences of David Alaba, Jude Bellingham, Aurilien Tchouameni, Ferland Mendy, Eduardo Camavinga, Dani Ceballos, and Jacobo Ramon with Jesus Vallejo still in and out of the infirmary.

Eight players are sidelined just before a gruelling stretch of seven matches in 20 days. Real Madrid intend to recover some players for the clash against Real Sociedad.

However, Ancelotti reserves the right to remain anxious, knowing more injuries could come his way as international matches are still ongoing for many of his squad.
