Militao last played for Real Madrid this season when the team faced Celta Vigo in early December. As initially expected, he was sidelined for more than three months due to injury.

Needless to say, his return after the international break will be a huge boost for Alvaro Arbeloa and his teammates, especially considering they have two crucial games against Bayern Munich in ten days.
So far this season, Militao has made 13 appearances for La Liga los blancos He has four clean sheets to his name. He averaged over ten defenses per game and contributed two goals in the game.
Just when Militao’s return was expected to help the team get rid of injuries, Real Madrid suffered another blow from Courtois’ muscle injury.
The goalkeeper will be out for six weeks and miss important games, including the Champions League quarter-finals and semi-finals, which is a huge blow to Arbeloa’s plans.
