The 27-year-old suffered an ACL injury in his left knee during the 2023-24 campaign, resulting in a 214-day absence from the game.

A year prior, he experienced an identical injury in his right knee, causing him to miss an additional 234 days of competition.

Following these setbacks, Militao found himself questioning whether he should continue playing football or consider retirement.

Despite these doubts, Militao has now returned to the Brazil national team and is working to regain his form.

In a recent interview, Militao reflected on his experiences, stating that he "thought about leaving football" after his second injury.

However, with the support of his loved ones and teammates, Militao has chosen to continue playing and is focused on performing well in his next games.
