Eder Militao is now fully recovered from the ACL injury he suffered at the start of the season against Athletic Bilbao. The defender has trained normally with the group and is fit to compete.
However, Diario AS say Real Madrid have no intention to rush the Brazilian back into action. If Militao makes the squad for the game against Bilbao this weekend he will only start on the bench.
Real Madrid plans to have Militao back in the starting lineup on April 13 when they face Mallorca. Thus, the powerful defender may not even feature against Manchester City next week.
Militao's return to fitness provides a much-needed option for Real Madrid at centre-back. In his absence, Nacho has had his bad moments and Aurelien Tchoumeni has filled in when needed.
However, Antonio Rudiger remains a guaranteed starter as he's in the form of his life.
