At the approach of the key matches in La Liga and the Champions League, Real Madrid is getting important defensive reinforcements.
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 in early April, including the race for the La Liga title and a tough 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 after Xabi Alonso’s departure, had not yet had the opportunity to use him.
Another good news, still in central defense, is the return of Raul Asencio. The Spaniard has fully recovered from muscle problems and will also be in the squad for the 30th round of the league.
After being absent for almost four months due to a left biceps femoris tendon rupture, Militao has resumed training normally with the group in Valdebebas in recent days. The feelings are good, although he still needs to regain match fitness.
The Brazilian, who was a key player in his position before the injury, could get some minutes against Mallorca on Saturday, April 4th at 4:15pm, while the Rudiger-Huijsen partnership is expected to start the match.
