Real Madrid has suffered a double blow after Arda Guler and Eder Militao were ruled out for the remainder of the season with hamstring injuries, the club confirmed.
According to club sources, the pair is expected to be sidelined for around four weeks but should recover in time for the World Cup, which kicks off in less than 50 days.
Guler’s setback came in the final training session before Friday’s meeting with Real Betis. Muscle discomfort forced the Turkish midfielder to remain in the gym and skip group work, and subsequent tests diagnosed a muscle injury to the hamstring in his right leg.
Militao’s injury was more immediate and more visible. The Brazilian defender felt a twinge in a challenge shortly before halftime in Tuesday’s match against Alaves and signalled straight away to be replaced.
While coach Alvaro Arbeloa initially struck an optimistic tone after the game, an MRI scan later revealed a muscle injury to the hamstring in Militao’s left leg.
It marks another setback for the Brazilian centreback, who has endured a succession of injuries in recent seasons, including ACL tears in back-to-back years.
With six games left, Barcelona tops the La Liga standings on 82 points, nine ahead of Real on 73. The sides meet in a Spanish Clasico at Camp Nou on May 10, where Barcelona could seal the title for a second successive season with victory over its old rival.

FC Barcelona’s Lamine Yamal reacts after sustaining a hamstring injury against Celta Vigo on April 22, 2026. The consensus World Cup favorite could be in danger of missing its top attacking option after Spanish forward Lamine Yamal sustained an injury while playing for Barcelona on Wednesday in a La Liga match.
According to ESPN, club officials believe Yamal sustained a torn hamstring, though a full prognosis won’t be known until he undergoes scans on Thursday.
The 18-year-old superstar drew a foul that led to a penalty kick, which Yamal stepped up and scored in the 40th minute against visiting Celta Vigo. However, once the ball hit the net, Yamal didn’t celebrate. Instead he went down injured. He clutched at his left hamstring ahead of exiting.
“We have to wait,” Barcelona coach Hansi Flick said postgame. “We have to see what it is. There is something. He felt it. After the goal, he would not leave the pitch without reason.
“So it’s something. Something happened. Hopefully it’s not so bad, but we have to wait until tomorrow.”
Midfielder Pedri, Yamal’s teammate with both Barca and the Spanish national team, said according to ESPN, “Hopefully Lamine will only miss a few weeks. I wish him the best of luck. He needs to remain calm because he’s young and will surely recover well.”
The goal was Yamal’s 16th in 28 La Liga matches this season (his 24th in 45 games in all competitions), and it led Barcelona to a 1-0 win. The result leaves Barcelona with a nine-point lead on second-place Real Madrid in the league standings, so Barca are comfortably on course to claim the league title regardless of Yamal’s health.
The bigger question is whether the injury could impact Spain’s chances at the World Cup this summer in North America.
Spain is scheduled for Group H matches on June 15 against Cape Verde and on June 21 against Saudi Arabia, both in Atlanta, then against Uruguay on June 26 in Zapopan, Mexico.
Spain won UEFA Euro 2024 in part due to contributions from a then-16-year-old Yamal. A sublime playmaker and finisher, Yamal has six goals in 25 career appearances for the Spanish national team.

आज के 'Hot' रिकॉर्ड्स: इन शहरों में बरस रही है आग
राजधानी दिल्ली में भी हालात बेकाबू हैं, जहाँ पारा 42°C तक पहुँचने की आशंका जताई गई है। राजस्थान के श्रीगंगानगर में भी गर्मी ने लोगों का पसीना छुड़ा दिया है।

गर्मी सिर्फ एक मौसम नहीं, अब एक 'इमरजेंसी' जैसा माहौल बना रही है। आइए देखते हैं अलग-अलग राज्यों का हाल:
UP में हालात सबसे खराब हैं। प्रयागराज में धूल भरी गर्म हवाएं चल रही हैं, तो लखनऊ में स्कूलों की छुट्टी का समय बदलकर दोपहर 12:30 बजे तक कर दिया गया है। आगरा में ताजमहल देखने आए पर्यटक गर्मी से बेहोश हो रहे हैं।
बिहार के 10 जिलों में भीषण हीटवेव चल रही है। पटना की सड़कों पर ठंडे पानी के स्टॉल ही लोगों का सहारा हैं। वहीं ओडिशा में तो गर्मी ने जनगणना (Census) का काम भी रुकवा दिया है—दोपहर 11 से 3 बजे तक सब कुछ ठप्प है।
ग्वालियर चिड़ियाघर में बेजुबान जानवरों को बचाने के लिए कूलर लगाए गए हैं। जयपुर और राजस्थान के अन्य हिस्सों में सड़कों पर पानी का छिड़काव किया जा रहा है ताकि तपती डामर को थोड़ा ठंडा किया जा सके।
IMD पूर्वानुमान: अभी तो बस शुरुआत है!
अगर आप सोच रहे हैं कि कल बारिश होगी, तो आपको थोड़ा निराश होना पड़ सकता है। 24 से 26 अप्रैल तक मौसम विभाग ने 'रेड अलर्ट' जारी रखा है।
तापमान का अनुमान: कई शहरों में पारा 45°C को टच कर सकता है।
थोड़ी सी उम्मीद: 25 अप्रैल के बाद पंजाब और हरियाणा में धूल भरी आंधी या हल्की बूंदाबांदी हो सकती है, लेकिन बाकी इलाकों में 'आग' बरसती रहेगी।
Heatwave Survival Guide 2026
हीटवेव के दौरान शरीर का तापमान अचानक बढ़ना 'Heat Stroke' का कारण बन सकता है। ऐसे में 'Water Bell' कॉन्सेप्ट अपनाएं—हर 1 घंटे में अलार्म लगाएं और कम से कम एक गिलास पानी पिएं, भले ही प्यास न लगी हो।

हीट डोम की यह स्थिति पर्यावरण में आ रहे बड़े बदलावों का संकेत है। प्रशासन अपनी तरफ से कोशिश कर रहा है—कहीं स्कूलों के समय बदले जा रहे हैं तो कहीं पानी का छिड़काव हो रहा है। लेकिन एक जिम्मेदार नागरिक के तौर पर हमें इस गर्मी को गंभीरता से लेना चाहिए।

Barcelona winger Lamine Yamal is out for the rest of the season after sustaining a thigh injury during his side’s La Liga 2025-26 match against Celta Vigo, the club confirmed on Thursday.
The Spanish league leader, however, said that he is likely to be available for the FIFA World Cup 2026, which is happening over the summer, where Spain will be looking for a second title.
“The tests carried out have confirmed that first-team player Lamine Yamal has an injury to the biceps femoris of his left leg,” Barcelona said in a statement.

Yamal converted from the spot in the 39th minute against Celta Vigo, but went down seconds after the goal, clutching his left leg. He was helped off the field soon after by Barca’s medical team, as it went on to win 1-0.
“The player will follow a conservative treatment plan. Lamine Yamal will miss the remainder of the season and is expected to be available for the World Cup,” it added.
The 18-year-old has 24 goals and 18 assists for Barcelona in all competitions this season, helping the side remain in pole position to lift the La Liga title with 82 points from 32 games, nine ahead of second-placed Real Madrid.

Feb 25, 2026; Indianapolis, IN, USA; New England Patriots coach Mike Vrabel speaks during the NFL Scouting Combine at the Indiana Convention Center. Mandatory Credit: Kirby Lee-Imagn Images New England Patriots coach Mike Vrabel, amid a controversy over his visit to an Arizona resort with then-Athletic reporter Dianna Russini, is headed for counseling that will keep him away from the team for the final day of the NFL draft.
Vrabel will be with the club when it makes its first selection at No. 31 overall on Thursday, then when it chooses players late in the second and third rounds of Friday. He will be absent for the last four rounds on Saturday.
The 50-year-old coach said Wednesday night, according to ESPN, “As I said the other day, I promised my family, this organization and this team that I was going to give them the best version of me that I can possibly give them. In order to do so, I have committed to seeking counseling, starting this weekend. This is something that I have given a lot of thought to and is something I would advise a player to do if I was counseling them.
“I have always wanted to lead by example, and I believe this is what I have to do to be the best husband, father and coach that I possibly can be. This is not an easy thing for me to admit, but it is one that I know will make me a better person. I appreciate the support that everyone has given me and promise a stronger resolve as a result.”
Vrabel and Russini both have spouses. The New York Post published photos of the two of them in Sedona, Ariz., ahead of league meetings in Phoenix last month.
Russini resigned from The Athletic, where she was lead NFL reporter, last week amid an investigation by the New York Times-run organization into the nature of her relationship with Vrabel.
Vrabel spoke openly to the media on Tuesday about the fallout.
“I’ve had some difficult conversations with people that I care about, with my family, the organization, the coaches, the players. Those have been positive and productive,” he said. “You know, we believe in order to be successful on and off the field, you have to make good decisions. That includes me, that starts with me. We never want our actions to negatively affect the team. You never want to be the cause of a distraction. And when I — those are comments and questions that I’ve answered for the team, with the team, we’ll keep those private and to ourselves.”
Vrabel became the head coach of the Patriots — the team for which he played — ahead of the 2025 season and guided New England to Super Bowl LX. The Seattle Seahawks defeated the Patriots 29-13.
Vrabel earned his second AP NFL Coach of the Year honor last season after winning the award in 2021 when he led the Titans. He was Tennessee’s head coach from 2018-23.
