Real Madrid defender der Militao set to be sidelined for a few months because
of injury
MADRID (AP) --- Real Madrid defender der Militao is expected to be sidelined
for at least three months because of a left leg injury.
The club said Monday that Militao underwent tests and was diagnosed with a
rupture of the biceps femoris tendon in his leg. It said his "progress will be
monitored."
Such injuries could require from three to fourth months of recovery, Spanish
media said.
Militao had to leave Madrid's 2-0 loss to Celta Vigo in the Spanish league on
Sunday in the first half. He was assisted off the field at the Santiago
Bernabeu stadium.
Militao, a Brazil international, had to deal with serious knee injuries in
recent years.
He is the latest setback to affect Xabi Alonso's squad that has been depleted
by injuries recently.
