Real Madrid have been dealt a double blow after Arda Guler and Eder Militao were ruled out for the rest of the season with hamstring injuries, the club has confirmed.
According to club sources, the pair are expected to be sidelined for around four weeks but should recover in time for the World Cup, which starts in less than 50 days.
Guler’s setback came during the final training session before Friday’s meeting with Real Betis. Muscle problems forced the Turkish midfielder to stay in the gym and skip group work, and subsequent tests diagnosed a hamstring muscle injury in his right leg.

Militao’s injury was more immediate and visible. The Brazilian defender felt a twinge in a challenge in Tuesday’s match against Alaves shortly before half-time and immediately indicated that he needed to be replaced.
While coach Alvaro Arbeloa initially struck an optimistic tone after the match, an MRI scan later revealed a hamstring muscle injury in Militao’s left leg.
It marks another setback for the Brazilian centre-back, who has suffered a series of injuries in recent seasons, including cruciate ligament tears in successive years.
With six games to go, Barcelona top the La Liga standings with 82 points, nine ahead of Real on 73. The sides meet in a Spanish Clasico at Camp Nou on May 10, where Barcelona could seal the title for the second consecutive season with a win over its old rival.
