Real Madrid's Militao Nears Return After 111 Days
Militao aims to return as Real Madrid chase league top spots and European glory.

Real Madrid's defender Eder Militao is nearing a comeback after an injury kept him out for 111 days, according to a Spanish sports report.

The Brazilian centre-back completed three full training sessions with the royal club from Wednesday to Friday, with no issues or pains, signaling strong readiness per AS.

Militao is set to be in the squad for Mallorca on Saturday as a substitute, with a chance to feature later in the highly anticipated clash with Bayern Munich on April 7, at the Bernabeu, in the first leg of the Champions League quarterfinals.

AS confirmed Militao has fully regained form in shooting, sprints, acceleration, and physical contact, proving his body is ready for competitive action.

Real Madrid presently sit second in La Liga on 69 points, four behind leaders Barcelona.
