Eder Militao is prepared for the return to training of Real Madrid

Real Madrid star Eder Militao is approaching a return to action after injury.

Militao has been absent from the Los Blancos squad since the opening weekend of the campaign with a serious knee injury after just 50 minutes of the new season.

Despite his expected seven-month post-surgery recovery, there were concerns that Militao would not be able to play again this season.

Carlo Ancelotti has confirmed that this is not the case with the Brazil international on track to strengthen his options in the race.

With another center back David Alaba confirmed until the summer, Ancelotti is little on the defensive cover, with the comeback of Militao perfectly timed.

According to the latest update from ReliefMilitao will rejoin full training at the beginning of March, and will be eased back into match action.

He should be fit to play games from April onwards with the Champions League quarter-finals scheduled for 9/10 and 16/17 April.
