Bad news has emerged for Eder Militao, the defender for the famous Madrid club "Real Madrid" and the Brazil national team. It has been revealed that he will be unable to participate in the 2026 World Cup, which will be hosted by the USA, Mexico, and Canada.
Renowned insider Fabrizio Romano reported this, citing the "Los Blancos" coaching staff. According to the source, the player will soon undergo surgery in Finland. According to the doctors' plan, Militao is expected to return to the field only in October.
Unfortunately, this situation has become another serious problem for the defender this season. This injury was recorded as Militao's fourth injury of the 2025/2026 season. Due to health-related issues, he has missed a total of 27 matches this season.
This could be a significant loss not only for Real Madrid but also for the Brazil national team. This is because Militao is considered one of the key and reliable players in the defensive line.
It is worth noting that in the group stage of the World Cup, Brazil will compete against the national teams of Morocco, Haiti, and Scotland.
In short, Militao's absence could be a serious test for Brazil. Now, the team's coaching staff will have to decide who will fill his position.
