Brazil defender Eder Militao 🇧🇷⚽ is facing a serious threat of missing the 2026 FIFA World Cup after suffering a hamstring injury, according to sources close to Real Madrid and the Brazilian national team reported by Reuters 🔥.
Real Madrid confirmed that Militao felt discomfort during a challenge in the match against Alaves and requested to be substituted before halftime 🏟️⚠️.
Although initial reports from the coaching staff were optimistic, medical scans later revealed a muscle injury in his left hamstring, raising concerns over his recovery timeline 🔴🧠.
Reports suggest the injury could be a recurrence of a previous setback from December, potentially requiring surgery and putting his World Cup participation in serious doubt, with less than 50 days remaining until the tournament ⏳⚽.
Militao is expected to undergo further medical examinations on Monday to determine the final diagnosis and treatment plan in coordination with Real Madrid’s medical staff 🏥🔬.
This setback adds to a difficult injury history for the Brazilian defender, who has suffered multiple serious injuries in recent seasons, including two ACL tears, affecting his consistency and availability 🔥💔.
His World Cup 2026 participation now remains uncertain pending further medical updates ⚽🏆.
