Overview
- Real Madrid said Thursday after medical exams that Arda Güler and Éder Militao suffered thigh muscle injuries and will not play again this season.
- Both were injured during the win over Deportivo Alavés, with Militao leaving before halftime and Güler later replaced.
- Militao’s left-thigh problem is his third muscle injury this season after a December tear with tendon involvement that sidelined him for months.
- Güler’s right-thigh injury is his first this season, with reporting in Spain describing a more optimistic outlook for his World Cup availability.
- Coverage differs on timelines, as SPORT BILD projects at least four weeks out and no World Cup risk, while SPORT1 and Marca report serious doubt for Militao’s readiness.
