"Real Madrid centre-half Eder Militao will be sidelined for at least a fortnight after damaging a thigh muscle during Brazil's 1-1 draw with Tunisia yesterday. The central defender appeared to be struggling for much of the friendly in Lille before finally going down on his haunches 13 minutes into the second half and then limping off. Tests at Madrid's Valdebebas training ground this morning confirmed he had an issue in his right leg with local reports suggesting he will miss the next two weeks."
"Such is the hectic schedule at this time of year, the 27-year-old will likely miss four games. Nov 23 - Elche (A) Nov 26 - Olympiacos (A) Nov 30 - Girona (A) Dec 3 - Athletic Bilbao (A) A quirk in the fixture list means Madrid don't play again at the Santiago Bernabeu until December 7 when they host Celta Vigo. So, Xabi Alonso will have to take his side to four difficult venues without arguably his best defender."
Eder Militao sustained a muscular injury to the adductor magnus in his right leg during Brazil's 1-1 friendly with Tunisia in Lille, leaving the field 13 minutes into the second half. Tests at Real Madrid's Valdebebas confirmed the issue and indicated he will be sidelined for at least a fortnight. The 27-year-old is likely to miss four matches: Elche, Olympiacos, Girona and Athletic Bilbao. Madrid do not play at the Bernabeu again until December 7, and the hope is Militao can feature partly against Celta and be fit for the Champions League tie with Manchester City.
