Real Madrid defender Eder Militao is at serious risk of missing the World Cup after suffering a hamstring injury. The Brazil international felt a twinge during a match and was replaced.
An MRI scan revealed a muscle injury to his left hamstring. Reports suggest this is a recurrence of an injury sustained in December, potentially requiring surgery. The World Cup begins in less than 50 days.
Militao, 28, faces an anxious wait as a final decision on his treatment and World Cup participation will be made and announced on Monday after further examinations with Real's doctors. This latest setback adds to a history of injuries for the center-back.
