After Eder Militao sustained an anterior cruciate ligament injury, former Real Madrid midfielder Guti is supporting Sergio Ramos to rejoin the team.
After rupturing his ACL during Saturday’s 4-0 victory over Osasuna, Militao will miss the remainder of the Real Madrid season. It was revealed that the Brazilian center-back would miss the next nine months due to his knee injury as he was carried off on a stretcher.
The announcement has led to speculation that Sergio Ramos, a seasoned defender who left Sevilla in the summer to look for a new club, may make a comeback to the Spanish City.
Former Madrid man Guti is all for the return of the 38-year-old. He said: “Look at Ancelotti’s worried face. Militao is a very important player who had just recovered from last year’s injury, who was getting back to his best and who is leaving Madrid’s defence in a tight spot. He is joined by Carvajal’s injury. Alaba has had a very long injury…
“You have to go out on the market. Sergio Ramos is without a team. Right back and centre back. In this situation, I clearly see him, at zero cost. He comes from playing last year in Sevilla and doing well. A man who has been in the team, who was active last year. Who continues to take care of himself and who can offer those six months.”
Madrid already has a lot of ground to make up in both La Liga and the Champions League, and their injury problems are just getting worse. They will require some quick reinforcements at the back if they are to replicate their 2023–24 success of winning both championships.
Madrid is going full steam ahead following the international break. Before they play Liverpool in the Champions League, they will strive to get closer to leaders Barcelona, who are now six points ahead, by traveling to Leganes.
