Definitely, the defense of Real Madrid knows very little respite on the side of injuries. Ploued last season by cascading physical seeds, the Merengue club announced this Friday that Antonio Rüdiger was again on the side. The German international could miss about twelve weeks of competition. A real blow for Xabi Alonso.
Real Madrid published a press release on its site to officially confirm the news. “Following the examinations carried out today on our player, Toni Rüdiger, by the medical services of Real Madrid, a lesion of the right femoral muscle of the left leg was diagnosed. The results are pending. »»
If no duration of absence has been specified, the local press, on the other hand, mentioned these famous three months of potential absence.
AS For example, indicated that Antonio Rüdiger would not be back before December. And maybe even a little more.
Rüdiger should miss several shocks with Real Madrid
Anyway, and pending a new, more detailed communication from Real Madrid, the team will prepare to do without its solid central defender for future deadlines. And these are as numerous as it is important. In addition to the Champions League match against OM on September 16, a derby is looming against Atlético de Madrid scheduled for 27 in Liga. In October, the Merengue will face Juventus (22) and will continue with the Clasico against FC Barcelona on the 26th.
If Rüdiger is still not there in November, he will miss the shock against Liverpool on the side of Anfield (the 4th). And if the predictions of the Spanish press are correct, there is little chance that it will also be operational in December, when receiving Manchester City (10).
