Real receives a new shock: Militao suffers ACL injury!

Real Madrid, Spain, received a new shock after it was confirmed that its Brazilian defender Eder Militao had cut his cruciate ligament, during the match against Athletic Bilbao, in the first round of La Liga. Real Madrid has had rotten luck with injuries this week. After Thibaut Courtois ruptured his ACL during training on Wednesday, the same fate has now befallen Eder Militao. The Brazilian international fell to the ground in agony during the second half of Saturday’s victory over Athletic Club, and he left the pitch in tears after holding his knee. Carlo Ancelotti feared the worst, and Real Madrid has now confirmed that reality. Real Madrid's statement reads:” After the tests carried out on our player Eder Militão, he has been diagnosed with a rupture of the anterior cruciate ligament of the left knee. The player will undergo surgery in the coming days.” Militao is the second player in the Royal to be hit by the cruciate ligament within just 72 hours. Earlier, Real Madrid announced the ACL injury of Belgian goalkeeper Thibaut Courtois, last Thursday. And Spanish press reports revealed that Real Madrid will miss Militao's services for a lengthy period of time, expected to be at least six months at least.
