Militao Returns to Group Training as Real Madrid Start Cautious Reintegration

The partial return marks the final rehab phase and could make the centre-back available for selection in October if he tolerates a stepped-up workload.

Overview

  • Eder Militao resumed group work at Valdebebas on Monday and was pictured running with teammates but did not complete the full session.
  • Real Madrid and medical staff plan a staged return that will limit his minutes and monitor his response to avoid rushing him back.
  • Surgeon Lasse Lempainen reviewed Militao’s recovery this week and the club says a competitive comeback in October is possible if no setbacks occur.
  • The club is managing Militao’s progress inside a broader fitness picture that includes several players still rehabilitating and nine injuries logged so far this season.
  • Militao’s repeated, serious setbacks over the last three years, including two cruciate ruptures, underpin caution and mean his long-term durability will remain a selection concern.
