Eder Militao will substitute Varane in Sunday’s Athletic tie

According to El Transistor, after the injury he got in the league battle against Getafe Thursday, Raphael Varane has already arrived home to continue his recovery process.

The Frenchman is reported to be accompanied by the director of Real Madrid’s medical service. As per the source, the center-back is suffering from neck pain.

On Sunday against Athletic Bilbao, the 27-year-old is also said to be unlikely to take part in the league tie. Eder Militao is conjectured to replace him.
