Latest news at Real Madrid. Eder Militao, a 28-year-old center-back, rejoined the Real Madrid group on September 28th during the first training session after the international break. The Brazilian had been sidelined since April due to a left hamstring injury and is now entering the final phase of his recovery.

The session at Valdebebas marks a change from previous weeks. On September 28th, Real Madrid announced that Militão is no longer undergoing recovery processes, while Konaté, Mbappé, Mendy, Rodrygo, and Valverde are still following specific training regimes.

Eder Militao returns to the group after five months of injury

Eder Militao's latest injury dates back to April. The club reported on April 23rd that he had a muscular injury in the left hamstring and five days later confirmed that he underwent surgery for a proximal tendon rupture in that area.

Since then, the defender has been on an individual recovery program. On September 14th, Real Madrid still listed Militão among the players continuing with their specific recovery process, alongside Mendy and Rodrygo.

The turning point came over the last weekend. On September 26th, MARCA reported that Lasse Lempainen, the doctor who operated on the Brazilian, had assessed his progress at Valdebebas and had given the green light to progress towards his return.

Real Madrid hopeful of Militao's recovery to strengthen defense

The return to group training does not yet signify a competitive comeback. Real Madrid has not set a specific date for Eder Militao's return to playing, so his availability will depend on how he responds in the upcoming sessions.

The defensive context underscores the importance of this progress. Militao has not featured in any official matches this season, and the team signed Ibrahima Konaté during the summer to bolster the defense. Additionally, despite his injury, the Brazilian is included in the club's Champions League list.

Militao is under contract with Real Madrid until June 30, 2028, following a renewal agreement reached in January 2024. The club had then recorded 143 matches and 11 goals from the center-back, later extending those figures to 189 appearances before he turned 28.

The next goal is to complete group training sessions during the break and assess whether Eder Militao can be close to a call-up. Real Madrid will return to action on October 10th against Villarreal, a date serving as the initial assessment point for his progress, but not a confirmed return.
