Relevo says Eder Militao is back and better than expected.
The defender suffered a serious ACL injury in August during a game against Athletic Bilbao with initial verdict limited him to seven to eight months.
However after undergoing surgery and recovery the defender return was reduced to six months setting his return date for February.
But Militao is training alone on the grass without much pain with sources saying he could return to full training this month. If this happens Real Madrid could rely on the Brazilian in January.
If Ancelotti decides not to risk him next month the player could be available in February before the Champions League last 16. Militao will then spend six months off the field.
Real Madrid did well in defense in the absence of Militao. So far Los Blancos have conceded just nine goals in 15 league games.
