Brazil defender Eder Militao is dealing with a thigh injury but is not expected to miss this summer's World Cup, ESPN reported on Thursday.
Militao, 28, sustained his latest injury during Real Madrid's 2-1 win against Alaves in LaLiga on Tuesday.
"Following tests carried out today on our player Eder Militao by Real Madrid Medical Services, he has been diagnosed with a muscle injury in the biceps femoris of his left leg," the team confirmed on Thursday. "His progress will be monitored."
Militao, who sustained serious knee injuries in 2023-24 and 2024-25, has recorded two goals in 38 appearances for the Brazilian national team since 2018.
Brazil is scheduled to play friendlies against Panama on May 31 and Egypt on June 7 before the World Cup.
Brazil, currently ranked No. 6 in the world, is in Group C for the World Cup with Morocco, Haiti and Scotland. The five-time World Cup champions open play against Morocco on June 13 in East Rutherford, N.J.
