Eder Militao has now fully recovered from an ACL injury he suffered at the start of the season against Athletic Bilbao. The defender trained normally with the team and fit the game.
However Diario AS has stated that Real Madrid have no intention of pushing for the Brazilian to return to action. If Militao makes the squad for this weekend game against Bilbao he will only start on the bench.
Real Madrid are set to return Militao to the starting line-up on April 13 against Mallorca. As a result the influential defender may not be able to play against Manchester City next week.
Militao return to fitness provides a vital option for Real Madrid at center-back. In his absence Nacho had his bad times and Aurelien Tchoumeni filled in when needed.
However Antonio Rudiger is still as confident a beginner as he is in the form of his life.
