Militao shares first pictures after knee surgery, encouraged by his adorable daughter

Eder Militao underwent surgery on his knee to repair the ACL injury he suffered for Real Madrid on matchday 1 against Athletic Bilbao.

The defender has shared pictures of his foot after surgery, but it looks like he's being cheered up by his adorable daughter.

Militao will be out for close to eight months with this nasty injury and is only expected to return to the field around April.

Real Madrid have decided not to sign a defender to replace the powerful Brazilian and will depend on the likes of Nacho, Toni Rudiger and if need be Ferland Mendy at centre-back.
