Eder Militao nears Real Madrid return after passing physical assessment
Summary

Eder Militao has cleared a final physical assessment following recovery from a severe hamstring injury. Operated on in late April 2026, the Real Madrid center-back is expected to rejoin first-team training soon. However, he will need additional time to rebuild his conditioning before making his competitive debut. Militao's ongoing absence has been part of a series of fitness issues affecting Real Madrid this season, and his return is anticipated as a significant boost. A further milestone will be his participation in full group sessions, which indicates he is nearing full fitness.
