As soon as Real Madrid announced that Eder Militao had suffered an anterior cruciate ligament injury for the second time in a row, it became abundantly evident that the indicators were concerning.
It was not going to be easy for the manager to find a solution since they had lost their top goalie and best defense for what might have been the whole of the season.
At the beginning of this week, there were rumors circulating that Thibaut Courtois’ rehabilitation was proceeding as planned and that the Belgian would be able to resume group training by the month of April.
At the end of the tunnel, there is light.
At this time, Mundo Deportivo has provided an update on the issue with Militao, and the news that it has brought out is really fascinating.
A little more than six months after suffering an injury on Matchday 1, the Brazilian defender is reportedly beginning to see the light at the end of the tunnel, as reported by the Spanish television channel.
He is doing better than anticipated in terms of fulfilling the dates for his recuperation, and he even just uploaded a picture of himself running on the grasses that are located inside the club grounds.
It has been reported that Militao would be ready for Real Madrid as early as February, according to the most recent statement. As a result of this, Ancelotti is overjoyed since it was earlier speculated that he would not return to the team until the conclusion of the current season.
It is imperative that he be rewarded for his persistent work ethic, which is directly responsible for his quick recuperation.
A stunning start
Because Real Madrid’s perhaps finest defender was out with an injury, many people anticipated that the team’s defense would have significant flaws this season.
It is important to remember that the Brazilian was the team’s primary defender in the middle position, and the other three players did not have the same chemical makeup.
However, despite the fact that the odds were stacked against them, the men in white have managed to achieve their greatest defensive start to a season in their entire history.
Within the first fifteen games of the league season, Ancelotti’s team has only allowed nine goals to be scored against them, which is a remarkable accomplishment. It should come as no surprise that the pairing of David Alaba and Antonio Rudiger has resulted in significant contributions.
