Real Madrid Angry: Brazilian Team Insists on Militão’s Examination, Only Releasing Him Back to the Club After Confirming Injury

According to Spain’s AS newspaper, the Brazilian Football Confederation recently summoned Militão to São Paulo for a physical examination and then removed him from the national team roster. Real Madrid is perplexed: if they already knew Militão was unwell, why did they have him travel such a long distance?

The Brazilian Football Confederation has ultimately decided that Militão will not represent the Brazilian team in upcoming matches. Although he has already flown to Brazil, he will now return to Madrid. This incident is not only perplexing but also very upsetting for Real Madrid.

Previously, Real Madrid had informed the Brazilian Football Confederation that Militão had some minor discomfort in his left thigh muscle. He was injured during the match against Atlético Madrid and was forced to leave the field early in the game against Lille. Although the injury is not serious—indeed, he played for 20 minutes in their most recent match—the club believed it was best to keep him in Madrid for safety, a suggestion communicated to the Brazilian Football Confederation. However, things developed beyond expectations.

The Brazilian Football Confederation showed flexibility with Vinicius Junior, allowing him to stay in Madrid. However, regarding Militão, they took a tough stance. They insisted that Militão take a 12-hour flight to São Paulo for further examinations, which confirmed that he indeed had a minor injury, validating Real Madrid’s statement.

The Brazilian Football Confederation expressed confusion over the matter, believing that injured players typically do not participate in league matches, even if it’s just for a brief appearance. However, it was proven that Militão did indeed have a minor injury. After the examination, the Brazilian Football Confederation officially announced his removal from the national team roster.

In the next few hours, Militão will return to Madrid for rehabilitation training with the club.

“We must stop this misconduct,” expressed a Real Madrid insider with strong dissatisfaction, who found it incomprehensible that Militão was forced to travel to Brazil and then back to the club. It is expected that Militão will return for the match against Celta Vigo after the international break. His injury is very minor and requires only a short rest to recover. However, this unnecessary long journey undoubtedly placed an additional burden on the player. In the Brazilian national team, Fabrício Bruno will replace Militão.
