Militao steps up as he nears return
The Brazil winger, operated in Finland for a left hamstring tendon injury, is doing specific work and could be ready after the international break.
Real Madrid have a promising update on their injury list: Éder Militao is nearing the final stages of his comeback. As reported by Mundo Deportivo, the Brazilian suffered the problem last April in a match against Alavés, rupturing the proximal tendon of the left hamstring, and underwent surgery in Finland.
Specific training at Valdebebas
While the squad was preparing for Tuesday’s match in Elche (21:30), Militao carried out individualized work with the club’s rehabilitation staff and physiotherapists on pitches 1 and 2 at Valdebebas.
The article suggests he could be available to José Mourinho after the international break. However, it’s not a short-term return: for the game versus Elche, Militao remains sidelined along with two other teammates.
Elche match: three absences
According to the same source, Rodrygo and Ferland Mendy are expected to take longer to recover, and all three are listed as unavailable for the Elche fixture.
The day’s other quote came from Mourinho, who joked about the fixture list in remarks reported by EFE: “I’m tired of you and you’re tired of me.”
