"Eder Militao was forced off injured in the first half of Real Madrid's game with Celta Vigo on Sunday, leaving Madrid with defensive worries ahead of the Champions League clash with Manchester City this week. Militao pulled up hurt after a last-ditch defensive intervention at the Santiago Bernabeu, and had to be helped off by two members of Madrid's medical staff, before being replaced by substitute Antonio Rudiger in the 24th minute."
"Madrid host City in the Champions League on Wednesday, with LaLiga matches with Alaves and Sevilla to follow before Christmas. Militao has struggled with a series of injury problems in recent years, suffering cruciate ligament tears in both the 2023-24 and 2024-25 seasons. Madrid are also currently without centre-backs Dean Huijsen and David Alaba, while Rudiger has only just returned from injury, and right-backs Dani Carvajal and Trent Alexander-Arnold, and left-back Ferland Mendy, are also unavailable."
