World Cup Heartbreak: Militao Faces Anxious Wait Over Hamstring Woes

Real Madrid's Brazilian defender Eder Militao is at risk of missing the World Cup due to a recurring hamstring injury. The injury, confirmed by an MRI, may require surgery. A final decision will be made on Monday after further examinations. Militao's injury struggles continue amid World Cup countdown.

Real Madrid and Brazil defender, Eder Militao, faces the prospect of missing the upcoming World Cup due to a severe hamstring injury. Sources within the club and national team confirmed to Reuters that the defender's presence at the tournament is in doubt.

Militao's injury woes surfaced during Real Madrid's midweek match against Alaves when he experienced discomfort just before halftime. Despite optimistic post-match remarks from coach Alvaro Arbeloa, subsequent MRI scans revealed significant damage to the hamstring in his left leg.

Spanish radio COPE reports this latest injury as a recurrence of a previous condition from December, which may necessitate surgery, potentially sidelining him from the World Cup set to start in less than 50 days. A decisive evaluation and announcement on his status are expected on Monday.
