The race got a runner. The ban didn’t move.
Militão is back in continuous running at Valdebebas. Huijsen’s Villarreal ban — and the club partes that emptied the same corridor — have not cleared.
English desks will file “Militão back.” The prior graph already named the hole: one ban, one race, no Militão for Villarreal. Monday at Valdebebas only moves the third term.
Europa Press (28 September, 12:44): Éder Militão in Madrid’s first group session of the week — continuous running with the non-internationals (carrera continua), physical block, Mourinho’s reduced squad. O Globo credits the Real Madrid training frame. That is group grass, not a starting XI. Soft injury path: proximal biceps-femoris tendon rupture from April, surgery late April (Lempainen); Marca had the surgeon’s Valdebebas sign-off on 26 September before the collective step. Competitive minutes still sit in an October window if conditioning holds — not locked for 10 October.
What did not move: Huijsen’s one-match Comité ban still deletes him for Villarreal at the Bernabéu (21:00, 10 October). Konaté’s club parte of 24 September — collateral ligament, right leg, pending evolution. Valverde’s club parte of 22 September — grade-3 left ankle, pending evolution. Soft Mbappé parte of 26 September (left-knee posterior-capsule hyperextension) sits one corridor over.
The CB who was the “no” in the Villarreal puzzle is now inside the continuous-run group while the ban and the club partes that emptied the same corridor have not cleared. Return to the group is a milestone. Replacing Huijsen for 10 October is a different claim.
