This Sunday, Real Madrid hosts Celta Vigo as part of the 15th round of the championship. It was a rather tightly contested match, but it took a dramatic turn when Eder Militao collapsed suddenly after tracking back on defense in the 21st minute.

As a reminder, Militao was just coming back from a long injury, and Real had hoped to count on him against Manchester City next Wednesday in the Champions League. While the nature of his injury remains to be determined, the Real Madrid defender could miss several weeks of competition and was replaced by Antonio Rüdiger, who was also just returning from injury. As a reminder, Trent Alexander-Arnold, Dean Huijsen, David Alaba, and Daniel Carvajal are already missing from Madrid’s defense.
