Real Madrid defender Eder Militao and midfielder Arda Guler will miss the remainder of the 2025-2026 season. According to medical examination results, both players have been diagnosed with second-degree muscle tears in their thighs. This situation has created a serious challenge for head coach Alvaro Arbeloa ahead of the decisive matches at the end of the season. Goal.com reports on the matter.
Militao was forced to leave the pitch during Tuesday's match against Alaves, while Guler's injury came to light during Thursday's training session. An official club statement confirmed that both players suffered hamstring injuries. The recovery process is expected to take at least three to four weeks.
The club's medical staff is taking precautionary measures in their rehabilitation to avoid risking the players' health. Due to the upcoming World Cup starting in the coming weeks, Real Madrid management does not intend to rush the players back for the final two weeks of the season. The primary focus is on ensuring the Brazilian defender and the Turkish playmaker are fully prepared for the summer international tournaments.
Currently, the Madrid club trails league leaders Barcelona by nine points in the standings. Issues arising from the absence of Militao and Guler could further diminish the team's chances in the title race. The team will face Real Betis in an away match on Friday night.
