At the approach of the big matches in La Liga and the Champions League, Real Madrid is securing important reinforcements in defense. Good news for Arbeloa, Eder Militao is finally back and will be available for the next match against Mallorca. The Brazilian defender was injured on December 7th against Celta Vigo at the Santiago Bernabeu.
The Brazilian defender is returning at the right time, as Real Madrid faces crucial matches at the beginning of April, with the race for the title in La Liga and a highly anticipated Champions League quarter-final against Bayern Munich on April 7th and 15th.
After the international break, Real Madrid will finally be able to count on him in official matches. The Spanish coach, who took over from Xabi Alonso, had not yet had the opportunity to use him.
Another piece of good news in central defense is the return of Raul Asencio. The Spaniard is fully recovered from muscle issues and will also be part of the squad for the 30th matchday.
Absent for almost four months due to a left biceps femoris rupture with proximal tendon involvement, Militao has resumed normal training with the squad at Valdebebas in recent days. The sensations are good, although he still needs to regain the rhythm of competition.
The Brazilian, who was indisputable in his position before joining the infirmary, could therefore have some minutes against Mallorca on Saturday, April 4th at 4:15 PM, while the defensive pairing of Rüdiger-Huijsen is expected to start this match.
