A miraculous recovery has been recorded by Eder Militao in order for him to return from an anterior cruciate ligament injury that he sustained on the opening day of the 2023/24 season.
Late in the month of March, the Brazilian international player made his return to action, appearing for a few minutes against Athletic Club, the identical club that he had received the injury against.
In the aftermath of it, the center defender has also made sporadic appearances in matches against Manchester City and Mallorca, despite the fact that he has not yet started his first game.
Militao is the target of Ancelotti’s strategy.
It has been reported by AS that Real Madrid boss Carlo Ancelotti has planned a strategy for Militao to be ready to play when the squad takes on Bayern Munich in the opening leg of the UEFA Champions League semifinal later this month.
A significant contribution from Militao is anticipated to be made during the semi-finals of the Champions League. The coaching staff is banking on him to improve the defensive qualities of the club with his contributions.
The first stage of his reintegration into the dynamics of the competition, which was more psychological than physical, has already been finished. This phase was more physical than psychological.
His coach, Carlo Ancelotti, has devised a unique strategy to provide him with playing time in order to prepare him physically for the semi-finals of the competition.
First Militao will be used in today’s Clasico, but this will be contingent on the outcome of the game. The Brazilian player is much more likely to start against Real Sociedad the following week, which is the match that is scheduled to take place.
If you play right-back or center-back
After receiving his third yellow card of the season at the Etihad Stadium, Militao will have the opportunity to play against Bayern Munich in the center of defense with Antonio Rudiger. Additionally, Militao will also have the opportunity to play right back. Dani Carvajal will not be able to participate in the game.
Everything will be determined by how well the Brazilian performs in the two games that are still left to play, which are against Real Sociedad and Barcelona, before the first leg of the UCL semi-final on April 30.
The second leg of the match will take place at the Bernabeu on May 8th, and Militao will participate on the same conditions as the other four players in the back four. In the time that separates the two competitions, there will be one more game for him to play in, and that game will be against Cadiz. This is the one thing that Ancelotti is hoping to do with the Brazilian.
