World Cup 2026: Eder Militao ruled out
Suffering a serious thigh injury, Éder Militão will undergo surgery and will be out for several months. The Real Madrid defender thus sees the prospect of playing in the 2026 World Cup with Brazil slip away.
The verdict is in for Éder Militão, and it is unequivocal. The Real Madrid defender will have to undergo surgery after a serious injury to his left hamstring. A long absence that already jeopardizes his participation in the upcoming 2026 World Cup with Brazil. According to the Spanish press, the Brazilian international has chosen to undergo surgery in Finland, under the supervision of the renowned surgeon Lasse Lempainen, considered a world reference for this type of pathology.
At 28 years old, Militão is about to begin a long period of convalescence, estimated at least five months. A hard blow for the player as for his club, already facing defensive issues this season. For the Brazilian national team, this absence also represents a major loss as the World Cup approaches where expectations remain high.
