Overview
- Real Madrid confirmed Thursday that Arda Guler and Eder Militao sustained hamstring injuries and will not play again this season.
- Medical tests found biceps femoris damage, in Guler’s right leg and Militao’s left leg, according to the club.
- Both will miss Friday’s match at Real Betis, and club sources expect a three to four week layoff that keeps World Cup plans on track.
- Militao left Tuesday’s win over Alaves before halftime after feeling a twinge, and an MRI later confirmed the hamstring strain.
- Barcelona hold a nine point lead with six games left before the May 10 Clasico, increasing the cost of losing a starting center back and a key playmaker.
