He said before retiring that he might be dealing with a major knee issue.

A little more than 24 hours after Thibaut Courtois’ catastrophic knee injury caused the foundations of Madrid to quiver, the same articulation caused alarm in the white ranks in San Mamés just after the start of the second half. Militao had to leave the game due to an injury, and he was clearly in a lot of agony in his knee. He might have had an impact on the crusader, it is feared.

After goals from Rodrygo and Bellingham in the first half put the game under control, Militao went to defend a ball that Sancet was watching. His left knee then gave out as he lost his equilibrium.

Alarms were raised by the center-back from Brazil’s motions. Screaming in agony, hands to the face, and a sense that the sprain might be a very serious injury. Ancelotti, who could clearly see the play, instructed Rüdiger to warm up and requested a change right away. He doesn’t appear well. “We’re concerned, and nothing is off the table,” the coach stated following the game.

Despite the fact that the stretcher went in to check for Militao, he left the field on his own foot. However, in the case of knee injuries, this is not usually a sign that he is not dealing with a major issue. Madrid’s number 3 will undergo medical testing in the coming hours to determine the full degree of the injury. Because there wasn’t much that could be done at San Mamés save freeze him to reduce swelling and pain, it was decided to put off a more thorough assessment of the injured knee.

San Mamés, who had Madrid covered from the start, especially with Carvajal and Vinicius, dismissed Militao to cheers.
