Real Madrid have received some very bad news at a crucial moment in the season. Two important players of the team, Arda Guler and Eder Milito, have ended the season, thus missing the rest of the championship due to muscle injuries in the thigh area.
The Turkish talent was forced to stay out of the group and work individually in the gym after feeling muscle pain in his thigh in the next training session on the eve of the match against Betis.
After initial concerns, the club's medical staff conducted detailed examinations, which confirmed the diagnosis, an injury to the right thigh.
This problem forces the player to end the season prematurely, dealing a major blow to the coach's plans for midfield rotation and the attacking phase.
Brazilian defender Eder Militao has suffered a similar fate. He underwent an MRI scan after a problem he felt in the match against Alaves, where he was forced to leave the field shortly before half-time.
His situation was considered less concerning, but the final results of the tests showed a muscular injury in his left thigh. For him too, the medical staff have confirmed that there will be no return until the end of the season.
With two major absences like Guler and Militao, Real Madrid faces a serious challenge at the end of the season, where every match could have a major impact on the team's objectives.
