Real Madrid suffers new triple injury blow

Real Madrid’s injury woes deepened during their recent La Liga match against Osasuna, with Eder Militao suffering a torn ACL and Rodrygo and Lucas Vázquez both substituted due to injuries.

Rodrygo had only just returned to the starting lineup after a recent hamstring issue.

The hamstring injury had forced the Brazilian forward to miss the El- Clásico defeat to Barcelona.

However, with just under 20 minutes played at the Santiago Bernabeu, Rodrygo went to ground clutching his left thigh.

Rodrygo was then taken off for Brahim Díaz and was captured by camera in tears on the bench.

Rodrygo’s injury, however, seems to be considerably less serious than the one suffered by his fellow countryman Militão.

Militão crumbled in the Osasuna penalty box as he attempted to get on the end of a cross.

Osasuna’s Flavien Boyonno was marking the Brazilian defender but didn’t appear to make any contact.

Militão looks to have sustained a knee injury and was in pain as he received treatment on the field before being stretchered off.

However, despite these setbacks, Madrid secured a 4-0 victory, with Vinícius Junior scoring a hat trick and Jude Bellingham netting another goal which happened to be Bellingham’s first goal of the season.
