The Brazilian football club, Flamengo, has confirmed that midfielder Éder Militão is out for the remainder of the season due to injury.

Militão was injured in a match against São Paulo on January 24th and underwent surgery shortly after. The midfielder has been ruled out of action until at least the end of the year, with a full recovery expected.

Flamengo manager Jorge Jesus expressed his disappointment over the news, saying "We're very disappointed by this news. Éder is a player who's been vital for us this season."

In addition to his injury, Militão has also missed several matches due to suspension for disciplinary reasons. Despite these setbacks, Flamengo will continue to look for ways to cope without him.

Despite the setback, Flamengo remains hopeful of making a strong run in the upcoming Copa Libertadores tournament. The team will have to rely on their other midfielders such as Bruno Henrique and Rodrigo Caio, who have stepped up in recent weeks.

As the team continues its journey towards the end of the season, it will be interesting to see how they manage without their star midfielder. With so much riding on this game, there is no doubt that Flamengo will give everything they've got to ensure victory.
