Real Madrid announced that Eder Militao has undergone a successful surgery. The Brazilian suffered a complete rupture of the anterior cruciate ligament in his right knee on 9th November.
According to Real Madrid, the surgery, which was "successful", was carried out by Dr Manuel Leyes under the supervision of the club's medical services, and "he will begin his recovery process in the next few days".
Militao was injured in the 27th minute, when he came on to finish off a set piece, and his knee got stuck inside the Osasuna box. His team-mates quickly called the medics and the Brazilian centre-back was stretchered off.
This is the second serious knee injury he has suffered in the last 15 months. On this occasion, the meniscus has been affected, so the recovery period is expected to be around nine months from the time of the operation.
