Real Madrid have suffered a major setback in their pursuit of the La Liga title, with both Eder Militao and Arda Guler ruled out for the remainder of the season due to injuries.
The club confirmed that Brazilian defender Militao is dealing with a left thigh injury, while young midfielder Guler has sustained a right thigh problem. Reports from Spanish media indicate that both players are expected to be sidelined for several weeks, effectively missing the final six matches of the campaign.
Among the fixtures they will miss is the highly anticipated El Clasico clash against Barcelona scheduled for May 10, a match that could prove decisive in the title race.
Despite the setback, there is some relief for both club and country, as neither player is currently expected to miss the FIFA World Cup 2026, set to take place from June 11 to July 19 across Canada, Mexico and United States.
Real Madrid currently trail league leaders Barcelona by nine points, leaving them with a slim chance of reclaiming the title. With La Liga representing their only realistic opportunity for major silverware this season, the absence of key players like Militao and Guler is a significant blow to their ambitions.
