An insight into the extent of the incoming absence facing Real Madrid star Éder Militão has come to the fore online.
This comes amid confirmation that the Brazilian is facing up to an extended spell on the sidelines.
Defender Militão of course set alarm bells sounding in Spain’s capital on Sunday evening, upon limping out of Real Madrid’s La Liga meeting with Celta Vigo.
En route to a damaging 2-0 defeat, the former Porto man went to ground in evident discomfort early on, before being helped from the pitch by Los Blancos’ medical team.
Put through an ensuing round of medical tests on Monday, Militão was in turn diagnosed with ‘a rupture of the biceps femoris tendon in the left leg, specifically affecting the proximal tendon’.
Real Madrid’s report did not outline precisely how long their defensive stalwart is therefore likely to be out of action.
As alluded to above, though, an insight into as much has since surfaced.
As per a report from journalist Miguel Angel Diaz of COPE:
‘For the time being, surgery is ruled out. He will be out for around 4 months.’
