First it was with Neymar and now there is another affected in Brazil after the duel against Colombia in Barranquilla.
Defender Éder Militao will miss the match against Uruguay this Thursday for the South American qualifiers for the Qatar 2022 World Cup, due to a “contusion” in the posterior region of the thigh of his right leg.
The Real Madrid defender was injured last Sunday during the match against the Colombian team played at the Metropolitan Stadium, which ended with a goalless draw.
Image tests have found a contusion in the damaged area, so Militao did not train with Canarinha this Wednesday nor will he be called up for the clash against Celeste, according to the Brazilian Football Confederation (CBF).
The entity pointed out that the doctor of the Brazilian team, Rodrigo Lasmar, has contacted the medical department of Real Madrid to inform him of the situation of the player, a starter in the white team.
With the resignation of Militao, the Brazilian coach, Tite, is expected to put Thiago Silva and Lucas Veríssimo in the center of the rear against the Uruguayan team, which they will receive at the Arena de la Amazonia stadium, in the city of Manaus .
Brazil leads the South American qualifying rounds with 28 points, six more than its immediate pursuer, Argentina, and is very close to closing its mathematical classification for Qatar 2022.
However, fans and sports commentators have poured harsh criticism against Canarinha’s game, especially after the last two games against Venezuela, despite the 1-3 victory, and Colombia, against which they left the first two points after of nine wins in a row. These doubts have been joined by statements by its top star, Neymar, who recently confessed that Qatar 2022 may be his last World Cup.
