Key player Real Madrid is anticipated to return from ιnjury in time for the March UCL match against RB Leipzig.

Real Madrid has been extremely unlucky with regard to injuries this season. Early in the season, they lost both starting goaltender Thibaut Courtois and a crucial member of defense Eder Militao to ACL injuries.

A month ago, David Alaba, another regular player, suffered an ACL tear. As a consequence, Real Madrid had only Antonio Rudiger and Nacho Fernandez as senior center backs.

Real Madrid decided against signing a new center back this summer, despite the fact that the circumstances demanded it. Conversely, they will rely on their current roster and reserve Aurelien Tchouameni.

However, according to reports, Carlo Ancelotti and his squad will shortly have one of their injured players return to action.

Elder Militao will be available to face RB Leipzig in the UCL.

Eder Militao is in the final stages of his recovery and is expected to be entirely functional prior to Real Madrid’s March UEFA Champions League match against RB Leipzig, as reported by Tomas Gonzalez-Martin on El Debate.

Following knee surgery in August 2023, the 26-year-old was projected to miss the majority of the upcoming season. However, he has diligently endeavored to recover and has recommenced his labor on the field within the past few weeks.

Militao will be able to resume working with the remainder of the team, headed by Ancelotti, in the near future.

And if all goes according to plan, the Brazilian player will be available to face RB Leipzig in the second match of the UEFA Champions League Round of 16 on March 6.

Militao’s early return is believed to have contributed to Real Madrid’s decision not to acquire a new defender this month. Currently, the former FC Porto player is eagerly awaiting his return to the Royal White outfit.
