Watch – Real Madrid defender starts training on the pitch as recovery from ACL injury continues | OneFootball

Real Madrid defender Eder Militao has had rotten luck with injuries in the past two seasons, having suffered two ACL ruptures.

The Brazilian international, though, has not let his spirits go down and has been working very hard on his recovery to make a comeback before the current season ends.

Good news for Real Madrid

Earlier today, Militao took a big step in the right direction on his road to recovery as he started training on the pitch with the ball.

The 27-year-old suffered the ACL injury back in November during Real Madrid’s La Liga clash against CA Osasuna and underwent surgery soon after.

Following that, it was expected that the Brazilian defender will not be able to play again this season, but things seem to be going very well as far as his recovery is concerned considering he is back working on the pitch within three months.

Militao, thus far, has missed 19 matches across all competitions for Los Blancos. Prior to his injury, the defensive mainstay had made 17 appearances scoring and assisting one goal apiece.

In his absence, Carlo Ancelotti has turned to Aurelien Tchouameni as a makeshift centre-back while youngster Raul Asencio has also gained prominence in the first-team roster.

That is the pairing which the Real Madrid manager is likely to go with for tomorrow’s La Liga derby against Atletico Madrid.
