After Éder Militão sustained a season-ending ACL injury, the next man up for Carlo Ancelotti's depleted backline is a Real Madrid Castilla defender with just one first team appearance to his name. Real Madrid's injury crisis reached new heights when Militão was stretchered off the pitch in tears against Osasuna.

Real Madrid defender Éder Militão has left the field on a stretcher after what appeared to be a serious leg injury in the first half of the team's 4-0 win over Osasuna.

Real Madrid defender Eder Militao has broken his silence after an ACL injury was confirmed last night. Militao suffered the setback during victory over Osasuna. The Brazil defender had only just recovered from an ACL injury to the opposite knee he received last year.
