Real Madrid visit Real Betis on Sunday night and they do so without Dani Carvajal, who misses out due to illness.
Nacho is also missing and Alvaro Odriozola is in Munich, so Eder Militao could be the one to come in and replace Carvajal against Los Verdiblancos.
The Brazilian defender took many of his first steps in football at the right-back position, playing 26 of 37 games for Sao Paulo at that spot.
By the time he reached Porto he was clearly a centre-back at heart, but he was still used on the right of the back line on multiple occasions.
Militao hasn't yet played at right-back for Real Madrid, but Zinedine Zidane has used him at left-back once this season when he introduced the 22-year-old for the final five minutes against Espanyol after Ferland Mendy's red card.
It's still not certain that Militao will play at right-back at the Estadio Benito Villamarin, as Lucas Vazquez is another option to play there, but the Brazilian is the favourite to replace Carvajal and he should feel like he's in something of a comfort zone as he does so.
