Real Madrid have received some highly encouraging news this week on the injury front. The positive update comes with confirmation that Éder Militão has returned to training on the grass.

Defender Militão is currently still facing another spell on the sidelines. After suffering a serious thigh injury, the Brazil international underwent surgery towards the end of last season, a setback that also ruled him out of the World Cup.

Militão is also expected to miss the opening months of Real Madrid’s 2026/27 campaign.

Viewed by key figures at the Santiago Bernabéu as one of the best defenders in world football in his role, the latest development out of Valdebebas will no doubt be taken as a significant boost by everyone connected with Los Blancos.

As seen on Friday, Militão was back outside working on the grass, accompanied by a member of Real Madrid’s fitness staff.

The former Porto player is still some distance away from making his return to competitive action, but this latest progress is certainly a step forward for both the club and the player.
