He breaks his biceps femoris and will be out for 3 to 4 months.

The unhealthy information continues for Actual Madrid within the aftermath of the defeat in opposition to Celta de Vigo. The medical examinations carried out on Éder Militao this Monday verify his critical harm: he suffers a tear in his femoral biceps and shall be out for round 4 months.

The harm occurred within the first half of the match held on the Santiago Bernabéu, across the twenty fourth minute. Militao ‘broke’ in a race with the sunshine blue participant Pablo Durán, which was later disallowed for offside. The gesture was rapid and the Brazilian left the sphere helped by members of the medical workers.

“After the checks carried out on our participant Éder Militão by the Actual Madrid Medical Providers, he has been recognized with a tear within the femoral biceps of his left leg with involvement of the proximal tendon. Evolution is pending,” says the medical assertion issued by the white membership.

The severity of Militao’s harm is a devastating blow for Xabi Alonso at a vital second within the season. The Brazilian heart again turns into the sixth casualty within the protection of a group that’s already in an institutional disaster after the defeat in opposition to Celta.

Together with Militao, the coach won’t be able to rely on Dani Carvajal, who underwent knee surgical procedure in October and should not return till January; Trent Alexander-Arnold, with a quadriceps tear that may preserve him out till February; Ferland Mendy, with an harm to the femoral biceps of his proper leg; and David Alaba, who suffers from issues in his proper soleus.

Dean Huijsen was also out against Celta, with knee discomfort, but his return is still up in the air ahead of this Wednesday’s vital match against Manchester City.

Antonio Rüdiger and Raúl Asencio are the only centre-backs fully available for Alonso, a situation that forces the coach to find creative solutions to build up the defence. In the League, in addition, Fran García and Álvaro Carreras will not be available either due to their expulsions against the Vigo team.

With this accumulation of defensive injuries, Madrid faces an impossible schedule without some of its main troops. The next Champions League match against City at the Santiago Bernabéu will be a real endurance test, followed by the visit to Alavés on December 14.

The Spanish Super Cup in January and the final stretch of the league phase of the continental competition appear on the horizon. Maximum tension, while the figures of Xabi Alonso are already in focus.

The irony is bitter: just days ago, Real Madrid was celebrating its leadership position in La Liga and its good performance in the Champions League. Now, with its defense destroyed, its dressing room divided and its coach questioned, the white club faces a journey through the desert that could last months.

Militao’s absence until April 2026 represents the biggest blow in a chain of tragedies that threaten to turn this season into a disaster for merengue interests.
