Overview
- Spanish outlet Cope reported Saturday that club doctors believe a scar from Militão’s December hamstring injury reopened and that surgery is needed, which would likely rule him out of the World Cup.
- Real Madrid’s only official update on Thursday called the issue a left‑leg contusion and gave no timetable for his return.
- Two checks, including an MRI, were not conclusive because scar tissue and fluid at the site obscured the images, and a new evaluation is scheduled for Monday, April 27.
- Reuters, citing several people close to the club and Brazil’s staff, said he faces a serious risk of missing the tournament and that next steps will be decided after Monday’s testing.
- The defender left Tuesday’s win over Alavés with pain in his left leg, and the timing squeezes Brazil’s plans with the squad due May 18 and the opener on June 13.
