Back from a torn cruciate ligament sustained in the first La Liga match against Bilbao last year, Eder Militão made a huge impression in the return to action with Real Madrid. The Brazilian defender, who struggled at the end of last season when he returned from injury, turned up in the form of his life for the start of the new season, which surprised everyone. Sharper than ever, the 26-year-old defender should regain his starting place this Sunday against Mallorca for the first La Liga match.
Impeccable against Atalanta in the European Super Cup, Militão has regained the confidence of Ancelotti who is likely to rely on him a lot this season, given the strengths present in the Brazilian’s position. After the departure of Nacho Fernandez, the failure of the Leny Yoro case and the serious injury of the promising Joan Martinez, Real Madrid will not have a plethora of solutions in central defense this season.
