Eder Militao, a defender for Real Madrid, has been ruled out of Brazil's upcoming World Cup qualifiers against Ecuador and Paraguay due to a thigh injury sustained during training. The Brazilian Football Confederation (CBF) confirmed that medical examinations revealed a small muscle injury in his right thigh. Militao, 26, who previously missed much of last season due to a torn ACL, is the latest player from Real Madrid to face injury challenges, joining teammates Aurelien Tchouameni and Ferland Mendy, who also withdrew from their national squads due to injuries. As Militao returns to Real Madrid for further assessment, it is estimated he could be sidelined for two to three weeks, potentially missing key matches upon his return. The CBF has expressed its solidarity with Militao and wishes him a speedy recovery.
