According to Spanish media reports, this player may need another surgery, which would mean he will not participate in the World Cup this summer. The Brazilian center-back had to leave the game against Alavés due to pain in his hamstring, and Real Madrid's medical team confirmed a few days later the diagnosis of a biceps femoris muscle injury in his left leg. Militão is now consulting with doctors and close associates about the next steps. If he opts for conservative treatment without surgery, he could return to the field in five weeks, but the risk of re-injury remains highly likely. On the other hand, surgery would mean missing the World Cup, but it would significantly reduce the possibility of recurring issues with the same injury. In the case of surgery, recovery is estimated to take between four and five months. This would allow him to be ready for the start of the 2026/27 season, although his injury history calls for caution.
