Unpleasant news has been confirmed for Real Madrid defender Eder Militao. The Brazilian center-back will be unable to participate in the 2026 World Cup due to a serious injury.
According to information released by COPE, the player will have to undergo surgery due to a muscle problem in his left thigh. The most concerning aspect is that this injury is a recurrence of a previous issue. It is known that he suffered an injury in the same area in December 2025, which kept him off the field for nearly four months.
The latest injury was recorded during a La Liga match against Alaves. Although Real Madrid won that match 2:1, Militao's injury has become a serious loss for the team. According to the club, he is out of action until the end of the season.
It is worth noting that this is the defender's third injury of the current season. Despite this, he participated in 16 La Liga matches and remained a key component of the team's defense.
In short, this situation for Eder Militao is a major loss not only at the club level but also for the national team. While a long rehabilitation process now awaits him, the Brazilian national team will be forced to look for new options in the defensive line ahead of the important tournament.
