At the approach of the big matches in La Liga and the Champions League, Real Madrid is gaining important reinforcements in defense.
Good news for Arbeloa, Eder Militao is finally back and will be available for the next match against Mallorca. The Brazilian defender was injured on December 7th against Celta Vigo at the Santiago Bernabeu.
The Brazilian defender is returning at the right time, as Real Madrid faces crucial matches in early April, with the title race in La Liga and a tough Champions League quarterfinal against Bayern Munich on April 7th and 15th.
After the international break, Real Madrid will finally be able to count on him in official matches. The Spanish coach, who took over after Xabi Alonso’s departure, had not yet had the opportunity to use him.
Another good news in central defense, the return of Raphael Asensio. The Spaniard is fully recovered from muscle problems and will also be in the squad for the 30th round of the championship.
Absent for almost four months due to a rupture of the left biceps femoris with proximal tendon involvement, Militao has resumed normal training with the group in Valdebebas in recent days. The feelings are good, even though he still needs to regain the rhythm of competition.
The Brazilian, who was undisputed in his position before joining the infirmary, could get some minutes against Mallorca, on Saturday, April 4th at 4:15 pm, while the defensive duo Rudiger-Huijsen are expected to start the match.
