The Story in 60 Seconds

Real Madrid centre-back Eder Militao has passed his final physical assessment with Dr. Lasse Lempainen, the Finnish surgeon who operated on his severe proximal hamstring tendon injury in late April 2026. The Brazilian international could rejoin first-team training sessions at Valdebebas soon as his rehabilitation enters its final stage.

Militao will still need time to rebuild his conditioning before being deemed ready to play competitively. Real Madrid has not confirmed an official return date for match action, and his reintroduction to full group training will mark the next step in his comeback process.
