Real Madrid Confidencial The Real Madrid locker room's reply to Antonio Rüdiger's injury: 'No va...'
In the Madridist club, they are closely monitoring the status of Antonio Rüdiger's injury.
Antonio Rüdiger, German defender for Real Madrid, suffered "a hamstring injury in his right leg", according to the club's medical report.
He is expected to be out for two to three weeks, which will prevent him from playing in several key matches for Real Madrid. Among them, Antonio Rüdiger will miss the quarterfinals of the Cup, the Madrid classic, and the first leg of the Champions League.
However, the player has an estimated downtime of 20 days. His presence in the return match is not entirely ruled out, and Real Madrid is closely monitoring the player's condition.
What happened to Antonio Rüdiger?
Fifteen minutes into the match, Antonio Rüdiger had to leave the field at the RCDE Stadium after feeling severe discomfort. A few hours later, the German center-back underwent an MRI early Sunday morning, the results of which confirmed the injury.
"After the tests conducted on Antonio Rüdiger, he has been diagnosed with a hamstring injury in his right leg", reported the Madrid club.
Could he make it to the return leg of the Champions League?
In the Real Madrid locker room, they remain very alert to Antonio Rüdiger's condition. "He won't make it to 20 days", they state from the club itself. For now, the feelings are positive, but they will have to keep an eye on how the defender evolves.
In light of Antonio Rüdiger's absence, Carlo Ancelotti already has a clear solution for the Madrid classic. The Italian will opt, barring any surprises, for Raúl Asencio and Aurélien Tchouaméni in the center of the defense.
In the case of Alaba, the center-back was going to start against CD Leganés, but his injury leaves him sidelined. The Austrian is suffering from physical problems in his adductor and will be out of the upcoming call-ups. The downtime is estimated to be two to three weeks.
Real Madrid continues to explore different possibilities in light of Antonio Rüdiger's absence, who is still working to be ready in time. Additionally, Carlo Ancelotti will also be unable to count on Alaba, so we might see Mendy in the center of the defense on some occasions.
