"Marca" wrote an article about the prospects of Real Madrid's central defender, believing that Militon's comeback is the key, and that the Brazilian defender is no longer afraid of injuries, and he is eager to make a comeback in the new season.
In the 2025/2026 season, Real Madrid's central defender position attracted much attention. If Militon can return to his best condition, many problems may be solved. He has performed poorly with a serious knee injury over the past two seasons.
2023/2024 season, Militon was absent due to a cruciate ligament injury on his left knee. Last season, he tore his right knee cruciate ligament against Osasuna again. The Brazilian has only made 31 appearances in two seasons. Before his first serious injury, Militon made 101 appearances under Ancelotti, and was the team's defensive core, whether it was Alaba or Rudiger.
In the Club World Cup this summer, Alonso's team lost to Paris in the semi-finals, and Militon's return is one of the few highlights in Real Madrid's team. Despite his limited playing time, his performance shows that he is no longer afraid of injuries. Recently, in the pre-season warm-up match, Brazil's central defender not only played against Leganes but also scored goals, which was a good start.
Militon's performance is crucial for Real Madrid under Alonso. Now he is surrounded by young Wysen, as well as Rudiger, Asensio and Alaba, who are in doubt. Alonso hopes to adopt a three-center-back system, but the stability of the defense line still needs to be improved at present.
Rudiger's performance last season was far inferior to the 2023/2024 season, and his form continued to decline due to fatigue and injuries. Alaba has only made seven appearances since being injured in December 2023, and his left knee cartilage problem remains serious. Asensio performed poorly after the Club World Cup and faced personal legal issues.
In this case, Wyson is regarded as the most reliable option, and Militon's state recovery is crucial for Real Madrid.
