Mourinho cautiously manages Militao's return from injury ahead of Villarreal

Jose Mourinho is taking a careful approach with Eder Militao's recovery from injury. The Real Madrid defender, who recently received medical clearance, feels fit but will not play against Villarreal or Roma, according to Mourinho. The coaching staff has had to prevent Militao from participating in competitive training sessions to avoid setbacks. Militao has struggled with injuries over the past four seasons, playing in only 52 of 187 matches, prompting the club to be cautious with his return.
