Militao Out for Season with ACL Tear

Real Madrid's Eder Militao suffered a complete ACL tear in his right knee during their 4-0 win over Osasuna and is expected to miss the rest of the season. This is the second consecutive season Militao has incurred such an injury, having previously torn his left ACL. Alongside Militao, teammates Rodrygo and Lucas Vazquez also sustained injuries, adding to Real Madrid's injury crisis that already includes Dani Carvajal and David Alaba. Manager Carlo Ancelotti is under pressure to address these challenges, potentially relying on youth academy players until the transfer window. Vinicius Junior's hat-trick led Real to victory, but the injuries overshadowed the win. The club has not set a specific timeline for Militao's recovery, but surgery is imminent.
