According to a report from Mundo Deportivo, Real Madrid defender Eder Militao is making significant strides in his recovery, with signs suggesting he could return sooner than initially expected.
The Brazilian centre-back has been sidelined since tearing the anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) in his right knee during a La Liga clash against Osasuna on November 9.
This was a particularly cruel setback for Militao, who had already suffered the same devastating injury to his left knee in August 2023.
Time of recovery
ACL injuries typically require a recovery period ranging from seven to nine months.
