Real Madrid centre-back pushing to return before FIFA Club World Cup
Eder Militao has seen close to two seasons destroyed through injuries and it is catastrophic how he suffered back to back ACL injuries in both legs – the second being weeks after recovering from the first. The player missed most of the ongoing season due to the injury and has been working hard on the sidelines to push for a return at the earliest. Advertisement Earlier this month, the club was handed a massive boost when the player returned, in part, to train with the group and thus marked a new milestone in his recovery. A record time As relayed by AS, Real Madrid hope for Militao to keep going on the same track and recover at the earliest. The player is desirous of travelling with the team to the United States for the FIFA Club World Cup and the possibility is not ruled out. Closing in on a comeback. (Photo by) Had the season not ended, Militao would have even returned to complete team training soon but is now working individually as the non-injured players have been gifted a break until the beginning of June. Advertisement The Brazilian star returned to group training in just 195 days this time around as compared to the 209 days he took last time. Needless to say, that arrives as a great positive for Real Madrid although they must continue to exert caution. Carlo Ancelotti's indiscriminate use of Militao immediately after his return from a long layoff was partially responsible for the player's relapse and Real Madrid hope that Xabi Alonso will be more cautious on that front this time. With Dean Huijsen and Raul Asencio available as first-team players immediately, Los Blancos do have options to cover in the department although Militao does dream of seeing at least a few minutes in the upcoming event.

Real Madrid suffer huge blow as midfield mainstay dealing with fresh back problem
Real Madrid have officially confirmed that Federico Valverde is suffering from lumbosciatica, a lower back issue that can cause pain and discomfort along the spine and down the leg. According to the club's medical update, the Uruguayan midfielder will likely miss training for about a week. However, the final outcome of his condition remains open as he continues to be monitored. Advertisement 'Following tests carried out today on Fede Valverde by the Real Madrid Medical Services, he has been diagnosed with discomfort due to a knock in his lower back. His recovery will be monitored,' read the statement from the club. The timing of this injury comes just as the club wraps up a difficult La Liga campaign. Despite ending the season in poor form, Real Madrid now shift focus to the upcoming Club World Cup. Xabi Alonso faces a tough start with injury-hit squad With the Club World Cup set to begin on 14 June, new manager Xabi Alonso has limited time to prepare his squad. Federico Valverde could be out for a week. (Photo by) Real Madrid will face Al-Hilal of Saudi Arabia on 18 June, but the squad's current injury list is cause for concern. Advertisement Dani Carvajal and Eder Militao are both recovering from serious knee injuries involving ligament and tendon damage. Eduardo Camavinga, David Alaba, Ferland Mendy, and Rodrygo are also out but are expected to resume training shortly. Meanwhile, Brahim Diaz pulled out of training recently and the severity of his issue is still unknown. Now, Valverde joins the list. He has arguably been the most used player in the squad this season, appearing in 59 of the club's 62 matches. Towards the end of the campaign, he was seen struggling through games with muscle issues, often playing while not fully fit due to the team's injury crisis under Ancelotti. Fortunately for Real Madrid, Valverde's condition does not seem long-term. Barring any setbacks, the midfielder is expected to recover in time to feature in the Club World Cup under Xabi Alonso's leadership.

Highly-rated defensive target breaks silence on Real Madrid's interest – ‘Source of pride'
The centre-back department has given Real Madrid enough worries this season and it is clear that something must change in the summer. While the return of Eder Militao will add depth, Los Blancos relied on the same factor last season and saw the player suffer a fresh injury. A new signing, at this point, is a must. Given the riches of the Spanish national selection in terms of young and upcoming centre-backs, it is no surprise that Real Madrid have their eyes on the Spanish market and Dean Huijsen is one such player who catches their eye despite playing in the Premier League. Speaking to the media in a recent interview, the Spanish defensive protege commented on Real Madrid's interest in his signing and how it was a testament to his development. 'It's a source of pride to have a big team interested in you; it's special and means you're doing well.' He was then asked about his role model as a defender, and he revealed that he looked up to a Real Madrid legend as the best defender in history. 'Ramos, for me, is the best defender in history. He had everything. He was good at clearing the ball, had an aggressive defensive spirit, was a leader, and scored goals, which made him an important player for the team.' 'And he's also from the south like me. I think we're a bit similar,' he added. Speaking about the top defenders in the game right now, Huijsen said, 'There are very good centre-backs in the world like Van Dijk, who I think is the best at the moment. I really like Ramos and Pique.' When the youngster left Mallorca for Juventus back in 2023, he had an offer from Real Madrid as well to play for the subsidiary team. Elaborating on his decision to choose Italy as his destination, he said, 'I think it was a well-thought-out decision. I wanted to move to Juventus because of Italy's reputation for defence, with Chiellini, Bonucci, Barzagli, and those historic defenders. I wanted to learn defensive skills.' 'They're also taught in Spain, but in Italy, they're more worked on. I think it was the right decision,' he added. Finally, he opened up on why he felt moving to Real Madrid at that point was not the best solution for him citing the importance of growing under veterans at that age. 'You never know how things would have gone, it was a very good choice, but at the time I thought the best thing for me was to learn a little bit about the defensive side and I think I already learned that in Italy.'
