Overview
- Real Madrid confirmed Thursday that Arda Guler and Eder Militao have hamstring injuries and will miss the remainder of the club season, with club sources indicating a recovery window of about three to four weeks and availability for the World Cup.
- Guler was diagnosed with a biceps femoris injury in his right leg after skipping the final pre‑Betis training session for gym work and scans, while Militao suffered a biceps femoris injury in his left leg after limping off against Alaves.
- The pair will miss Friday’s trip to Real Betis and reports say Militao’s timeline puts the May 10 Clasico at Camp Nou in doubt as Barcelona hold a nine‑point lead with six league games left.
- Reporting from Spain says medical staff will take a cautious rehab approach to reduce reinjury risk and prioritize full fitness for national team duty in North America this summer.
- The double setback underscores a frustrating Madrid campaign already hit by injuries and early exits, increasing the load on replacements in defense and midfield during the run‑in.
