Real Madrid defender Eder Militao has reached a major milestone in his return to action after passing his final physical assessment with Dr. Lasse Lempainen, the specialist who performed surgery on his severe proximal hamstring tendon injury in late April 2026.
Lempainen himself confirmed said milestone with a post on his social media.
“Great day in Madrid with @edermilitao and the medical and performance staff of @realmadrid. A full day dedicated to his return as Éder continues to progress according
to plan following surgery for his severe tendon injury. It was a pleasure for us to contribute our expertise and experience to his return to play process, with the ultimate goal of helping him safely return and perform again at the highest level. Many thanks to Éder and all of the Real Madrid staff for the excellent collaboration and a very successful day. Returning to the field is a milestone. Returning to your highest performance level is the goal. ”
Militao could rejoin his teammates in training fairly soon, although he will definitely need to spend some time improving his conditioning before he can actually play for Real Madrid this season.
