Real Madrid defender Eder Militao and attacker Rodrygo were substituted during the first half of their La Liga clash against Osasuna on Saturday, adding to the club's injury woes. The happiness of Real Madrid scoring twice in the opening 45 minutes was taken away as the Brazilian duo were replaced in a gap of 10 minutes.
Winger Rodrygo was the first to leave the pitch at Santiago Bernabeu 20 minutes into the game. The youngster, who had recently recovered from a hamstring issue, was looking sharp before being replaced by Brahim Diaz. 10 minutes later, Eder Militao also needed medical assistance. Academy recruit Raul Asencio was called in to replace Militao, who was stretchered off.
Militao's injury is more worrying for Carlo Aneclotti's Real Madrid, who are already without their captain and first-choice right-back Dani Carvajal. The Spaniard's season is over after suffering a serious ACL issue earlier this season.
David Alaba, the versatile Austrian international, is also to recover fully from an ACL tear. Goalkeeper Thibaut Courtois and defensive midfielder Aurelien Tchouameni are also unavailable for the defending La Liga champions, who have been second to arch-rivals Barcelona this season.
