Real Madrid are dealt ANOTHER huge blow as Eder Militao suffers torn ACL just days after Thibaut Courtois picked up the same injury

Real Madrid have been dealt another huge injury blow with Eder Militao suffering an ACL injury.

The defender left the pitch in tears in the 50th minute of Madrid's LaLiga opener against Atletic Bilbao, as game which Los Blancos won 2-0 thanks to goals from Rodrygo and Jude Bellingham.

Madrid's worst fears were realised on Sunday when it was confirmed the Brazil international would be out for several months.

The injury came just days after goalkeeper Thibaut Courtois suffered the same injury in training on Thursday, ruling him out for the majority of the season.
