Real Madrid defender sends message after undergoing surgery – ‘The best is yet to come’
It has been another wretched season for Eder Militao as the Real Madrid defender has succumbed to injury problems.
Having been out of action for several months earlier in the campaign, the Brazilian international suffered another injury last week which has ruled him out of the season as well as the summer’s FIFA World Cup.
Earlier today, the 28-year-old defender underwent surgery to treat the injury and is now expected to be out of action for at least five months, meaning a return could take place in September or October.
Militao staying positive
Following the medical procedure, which took place in Finland, Militao has taken to social media to send a message to the Real Madrid fans.
“Anyone who knows me knows how dedicated I’ve been and how hard I’ve worked to be in peak physical condition, but unfortunately, I have to take care of my body so I can play for Real Madrid and the national team with confidence,” Militao began.
Expressing gratitude for the support and well wishes during this time, he added: “To everyone who sent me messages of love and support, my sincerest thanks.”
Concluding, Militao signed off on a positive note, insisting that he will continue to keep fighting and will come back stronger.
“And also to everyone who stands by my side – my family, my children, my wife @tainamilitao – know that the fight continues, because the best is yet to come,” Militao concluded.
Militao bids goodbye to the season having played only 21 matches (1530 minutes) across all competitions for Real Madrid, contributing with a couple of goals and an assist.

Manchester United launch final push to sign Real Madrid outcast; club resists permanent exit
Manchester United are stepping up their pursuit of Endrick as the Brazilian forward’s future at Real Madrid becomes increasingly uncertain, with a potential January loan move emerging as a solution to his lack of regular playing time.
According to Bernabeu Digital, Manchester United are making a final push to convince the 19-year-old to join them.
However, negotiations could prove complicated because the Premier League club is interested in including a purchase option in the deal, while Real Madrid are not currently planning to give up permanent control of the striker.
Endrick’s limited opportunities under Jose Mourinho this season have opened the door to a temporary departure, with AC Milan and Tottenham also emerging as potential destinations.
Why Manchester United want Endrick?
Manchester United are looking for greater attacking productivity and believe Endrick could provide a different dimension to their forward line.
The Premier League club has also been linked with the Brazilian in the past, as they assess options to improve their goalscoring output after a poor start to the season.
Notably, his situation at Real Madrid makes a move more plausible, as Endrick has struggled to secure consistent minutes, and the club is considering a loan that would give him the chance to play regularly.
However, United’s preferred terms could become the biggest obstacle.
The English side reportedly wants the option to buy Endrick at the end of the loan, potentially giving them a route to a permanent transfer if he impresses.
Real Madrid reject permanent Endrick exit
Real Madrid’s preference is understood to be a straightforward loan without a purchase option.
The club want Endrick to gain experience elsewhere before returning to compete for a place in the squad, rather than risk losing a young forward they have invested in for the future.
His previous loan spell at Lyon provides a possible model for another temporary move, although any agreement would depend on the terms offered and the player’s own preferences.
Manchester United are prepared to make an attractive financial proposal in an effort to secure his arrival, but money alone may not resolve the disagreement if Real Madrid remain unwilling to include a purchase clause.
