“Following tests carried out today, Eder Militao has been diagnosed with a muscular injury to the adductor magnus in his right leg. Further updates will follow,” read a club statement.

Although Real Madrid did not give a comeback date, Spanish sports paper Diario AS estimated Militao will be out of action for at least two weeks, missing La Liga games against Elche, Girona, and Athletic Club, and a Champions League game against Olympiakos, reports Xinhua.

Militao will also be a doubt for another La Liga match against Celta Vigo and a key European tie against Manchester City on December 10.

Real Madrid are still without German defender Antonio Rudiguer, while Dani Carvajal is sidelined after a knee operation.
