Jose Mourinho urges caution over Eder Militao's recovery

Real Madrid manager Jose Mourinho has expressed praise for defender Eder Militao's training performance while emphasizing the need for caution regarding his return to competitive play. Despite Militao's desire to return to the pitch quickly, Mourinho stated that the Brazilian defender will not be available for the upcoming match against Villarreal, nor for subsequent fixtures against Roma or Sevilla.

Mourinho noted that while Militao's conditioning has exceeded expectations, his extensive medical history requires a careful recovery process. The defender is currently recovering from a muscle injury sustained in April that required surgery. The coaching staff has reportedly had to restrain Militao from participating in training sessions to ensure he does not rush his comeback.
