Accused of holding back its players during the international windows, Real Madrid announced the injury of Eder Militao, who will not be able to join the Seleçao.
The practice is not new. For many years, clubs have been pushing hard to prevent their players from joining their national team, especially during the autumn or March gatherings, which are not always of great importance for the selections.
There are specialists in this area, like Chelsea and Real Madrid. And the most common method is that of the player who arrives for the selection on Monday with a minor injury, which often encourages the staff to call up another player, 100% operational.
After Mbappé, Militao…
This time, there is a lot of talk about it because it concerns Kylian Mbappé, the captain of the France team, and because the usual timing was not respected. After the announcement of his non-selection for physical reasons, the former Parisian still played with his club, which rarely happens, and which is the talk of the town.
Real Madrid’s attitude is criticized, because the Spanish club is accused of using its power and influence over its players to the detriment of the selections. But the White House clearly has no intention of changing its habits. After Vinicius Jr, injured in the neck, it was Eder Militao who withdrew from the Seleçao’s next two matches. The Brazilian defender is injured in the thigh, and the Spanish press indicates that he could resume in about two weeks. In other words, Militao could not miss a single match with Real. As if by chance?
