Eder Militao returns to training as recovery progresses for Real Madrid

Summary

Eder Militao has resumed ball work at Real Madrid City, progressing to the final stage of his rehabilitation from a serious leg injury. The Brazilian centre-back has not played since April, when he tore the proximal biceps femoris tendon. Currently, he follows an individualized recovery program, with Real Madrid expecting him to return after the upcoming international break. This would put his potential comeback around mid-October, providing an additional option for head coach Jose Mourinho as the team prepares for competitive matches.
