Eder Militao is set for a spell on the sidelines after he sustained an adductor injury while on duty for Brazil.

Militao was forced off after an hour on Tuesday, as Brazil drew 1-1 with Tunisia in a friendly in Lille.

Carlo Ancelotti did not explain what the defender's issue was, but Real Madrid have now confirmed Militao has suffered an adductor issue, and he is a doubt for Sunday's LaLiga clash with Elche.

Militao missed the majority of last season due to a cruciate ligament injury.

The 27-year-old has played 13 times for Madrid in all competitions this term, starting 12 times. 

Madrid are also harbouring concerns over the fitness of Dean Huijsen, Eduardo Camavinga and Kylian Mbappe.
