This Saturday, against Osasuna, the Merengue club lost its two Brazilian players in the first period.
Real Madrid, who must revive after two defeats at home with the reception of Osasuna on Saturday, during the 13th day of La Liga, lost two of their Brazilian players to injury in the first half, striker Rodrygo and defender Eder Militao.
Rodrygo, who was making his return after injuring his right biceps femoris against Dortmund on October 22, left the field in tears in the 20th minute of play, apparently suffering a relapse. His compatriot Eder Militao was evacuated on a stretcher after collapsing in the area in the 26th minute, visibly injured in the right knee. In August 2023, Militao suffered a torn anterior cruciate ligament in his left knee during the first La Liga match of the season against Athletic Bilbao. This injury sidelined him for eight months.
Spanish right-back Lucas Vazquez was also injured but returned to play after being strapped. Another Brazilian player, Vinicius, opened the scoring on Saturday for the Madrilenians in the 34th minute. Englishman Jude Bellingham doubled the lead in the 42nd minute, his first goal this season.
