Real Madrid's Eder Militao was seen reacting in pain and distress after suffering an injury during their game against Osasuna on Saturday. The team, who is already without veteran player Dani Carvajal due to a serious knee injury sustained last month, could potentially face another loss in their lineup. Coach Carlo Ancelotti, who has been under pressure due to recent poor results in both La Liga and Europe, cannot afford to lose another key player and will be anxiously awaiting updates on the condition of Brazil international Eder Militao.
The 26-year-old defender went down on the half-hour mark, visibly in pain and clutching his right knee. After receiving several minutes of treatment, he had to be carried off the field on a stretcher, screaming in agony. This is not the first time that Militao has faced a serious injury, as he missed six months of last season due to a knee injury sustained in the opening game.
Militao had made a strong comeback in March and has been a constant presence in Real's defense. Another lengthy absence would be a major setback for the team. As if that wasn't enough, earlier in the match, Militao's compatriot Rodrygo, who was making his league return after a three-week absence, also had to leave the game due to a thigh injury.
Despite these injuries, Real Madrid seemed to be on track for a much-needed victory, with first-half goals from Vinicius Junior and Jude Bellingham. Vinicius, who had recently been snubbed for the Ballon d'Or award, had a point to prove and scored a brilliant goal in the 34th minute. He received a pass from Raul Asencio, cut inside and blasted the ball into the net with his right foot, leaving the Osasuna goalkeeper with no chance.
Six minutes later, Asencio was once again the provider, this time with a long pass that set Bellingham free to score his first goal in 12 games. The English star calmly lifted the ball over the onrushing goalkeeper to double Real's lead. Despite the injuries, the team was able to secure a much-needed victory.
