The centre-back has seemingly been prone to injuries this season.
Some important players have returned for Real Madrid at the perfect moment following the injuries. Eder Militao is among them. He came back and scored over the weekend to give Los Blancos more options at defence, which was severely lacking depth.
The one bright spot after Real Madrid’s 2-1 LaLiga loss to RCD Mallorca last Saturday was the return of Brazilian Éder Militão to the field after a 118-day layoff.
With a ray of optimism in the Champions League ahead of the quarterfinal matchup with Bayern Munich, this return is a very encouraging development for the remainder of the season.
Will Eder Militao play tonight?
Despite being a member of the Real Madrid team, Eder Militao is unlikely to start today’s match against Bayern. He will likely only play a few minutes off the bench.
The Brazilian won’t start the Champions League match against Bayern Munich. He can be pivotal if available for Real Madrid’s chances of winning the game against the German side.
Real Madrid will carefully reintegrate Militao into the dynamics. They are unwilling to take any chances with his fitness as he recently returned from a long-term ailment.
The centre back has struggled with several long-term blows in the recent past, giving him a dubious injury history. As a result, the club have no intention of hurrying him back into play.
Eder Militao hasn’t played in the last four months, something Real Madrid are especially mindful of. Therefore, it could be quite dangerous to send him back into the pitch for the full 90 minutes. He is likely to only play off the bench and not start.
