Real Madrid announced that Éder Militão suffered a complete tear of the anterior cruciate ligament in his right knee against Osasuna. Militão also suffered damage to both meniscuses in his right leg.

The Brazilian will undergo surgery in the coming days.

Militão was substituted in the 30th minute of Real Madrid’s LaLiga match against Osasuna on Saturday and had to be taken off the pitch. He was replaced by Castile graduate Raul Asencio. It is a crushing blow to Real Madrid’s defense, which is already without Dani Carvajal and David Alaba.

This is Militão’s second torn ACL in as many seasons for Real Madrid. The first injury to his left knee occurred against Athletic Bilbao in August 2023.

Militão was not the only player to be substituted due to injury against Osasuna. Rodrygo and Lucas Vázquez also left the match injured.
