Eder Militao should not start Real Madrid’s match vs Racing Santander

Writer Hridyam Arora argues that Real Madrid defender Eder Militao should not start against Racing Santander on Sunday. Despite making a full recovery from recent hamstring and ACL injuries, the Brazilian center-back has only made one substitute appearance this season during a 4-1 win over Sevilla. Arora suggests manager Jose Mourinho must ease Militao back into the starting lineup rather than risking him as a starter so quickly.

While Mourinho has praised Militao's quality and recovery progress, the writer stresses that caution is essential to protect the injury-prone defender. The article suggests that granting Militao another appearance off the bench in the second half is the safest approach for Real Madrid to preserve his fitness long-term.
