Carlo Ancelotti will soon have to line up Kylian Mbappé in central defense. While a massacre of injuries looms over the Madrid defense (David Alaba, Joan Martinez and Eder Militao earlier this season), Casa Blanca is now worried about the state of Antonio Rüdiger’s knee. The possibility of a new injury at this key position makes everyone in Madrid tremble.
Affected against FC Barcelona during the Clásico, the former Chelsea player will benefit from an additional week of rest “thanks” to the floods which are currently affecting Spain, and more particularly Valencia, which the Merengues were to face this weekend . This postponement will therefore allow the German international to benefit from an additional week of rest.
