Real Madrid started its season in force on Tuesday with a victory against Osasuna, and Eder Militao was one of the positive elements.
The defender, victim of two injuries to the cross -crossed ligaments over the past two years, has achieved an excellent performance for his first appearance in La Liga since November.
Militao is expected to be an important player for Real Madrid this season, even if Xabi Alonso might want to avoid overlaying him because of his injuries. Antonio Rudiger will be back for the trip of the weekend to Real Oviedo, which will decide who will play alongside Dean Huijsen.
Alonso welcomed the performance of Militao against Osasuna, but he will be careful about the management of his playing time in the coming weeks. He will benefit from a boost from his predecessor to Santiago Bernabéu: Carlo Ancelotti.
Ancelotti decided not to summon Militao for the two Brazil qualification games for the 2026 World Cup
According to El Chiringuito (via Diario As), Ancelotti decided not to summon Militao for the two Brazil qualification games for the 2026 World Cup, during the International Truce of September against Chile and Bolivia. This decision was made to prevent the 27 -year -old from being overplayed at the start of the season.
Ancelotti will no longer coach Jamancelotti also renounces to summon Vinicius Juniois de Club after Real
Militao is not the only Real Madrid player that Encelotti decided not to summon for the next international truce. Vinicius Junior will also remain in the Spanish capital: he is suspended for the match against Chile, and he was decided not to summon it against Bolivia.
This match against Bolivia is planned only four days before the trip of Real Madrid to Real Sociedad. It will therefore be a great chance for Alonso to have the two players available, and 100 %, for it.
