How long will Eder Militao be out with Real Madrid?

The left knee injury of Eder Militao could have a very similar rehabilitation process as the one suffered by Thibaut Courtois . That’s why, according to medical experts, six to eight months is the proper timeline.

In the case of Courtois, Kepa might be the goalkeeper to replace him. However, Militao’s situation is trickier as Real Madrid only have as center backs three possible players: Antonio Rudiger, Nacho and David Alaba. It would be really complicated to go a full season with such a limited rotation.
