Real Madrid defender Éder Militão is set to undergo surgery on his left knee after sustaining an injury during the team’s Spanish league opener, according to an announcement made by the club on Sunday. The 25-year-old Brazilian player has been diagnosed with a torn anterior cruciate ligament and will need several months to recover from the injury. The incident occurred early in the second half of Madrid’s 2-0 victory against Athletic Bilbao on Saturday, when Militão’s left knee appeared to twist awkwardly, causing him considerable pain. He had to be assisted off the field by two team doctors. This injury comes as a blow to Madrid, as they had already lost their starting goalkeeper Thibaut Courtois to a knee ligament injury last week. Additionally, their newly signed midfielder Arda Güler is also unavailable due to a knee problem that will likely require surgery and several weeks of recovery. Madrid’s next match is against Almeria in the Spanish league on Saturday..
