Real Madrid have had a successful start to the new season. In the first round of La Liga they won 2-0 at the ground of unpleasant Bilbao, however, not everything is rosy.

Real Madrid have had a successful start to the new season. In the first round of La Liga they won 2:0 against the unpleasant Bilbao, but not everything is rosy. Already in the 50th minute, defender Éder Militao was substituted due to injury. Fans hoped that the injury was not too serious, but the opposite is true.
After a not very successful season, in which Real Madrid only won the Spanish Cup apart from the Club World Cup and the UEFA Super Cup, the Santiago Bernabeu was interestingly strengthened.
Players like Jude Bellingham, Arda Güler, Fran García and Joselu have joined the club. However, Karim Benzema has left and the productive joker Marco Asensio is also gone. In any case, the start of the new season has been successful for the Madrid team.
Real Madrid managed to win at the ground of the unpleasant Athletic Bilbao. Even without injured number one Thibaut Courtois, who tore the anterior cruciate ligament in his knee and will be out for most of the season.
However, one thing spoiled the 2-0 win and Bellingham’s great debut. Already in the 50th minute, twenty-five-year-old stopper Éder Militao, who has been one of the most important members of the defensive line in his last few seasons, was substituted due to injury.
After the match, coach Carlo Ancelotti hoped that his injury would not be so serious and that his darkest fears would not come true. However, on Sunday afternoon, the club issued an embarrassing statement.
Militao suffered the same injury as Courtois recently, so he has a torn anterior cruciate ligament in his knee and that means one thing. A long layoff.
Real Madrid have David Alaba, Antonio Rüdiger and Nacho Fernández available at the stopper position. It is quite possible that they will respond to the injury by bringing in a new player, even on a one-year loan.
