He returns after a tough surgery, he will play for Real Madrid vs Pachuca and he is a starter
The great star that Real Madrid has managed to recover for the next match against Pachuca
The Club World Cup keeps surprising, and Real Madrid hasn't been the exception to this rule. After the 1-1 draw against Al Hilal, Real Madrid has received another unexpected surprise for its next match. Having to face Pachuca from Mexico, Real Madrid will be able to count on one of its best stars for the defense.
Antonio Rüdiger, who missed the end of the season due to surgery, will be able to return to the field for this match. Aiming for a starting spot, Rüdiger will provide much more solidity and security to a backline that gave plenty to talk about after its debut in the World Cup. Having had to wait for several weeks, Rüdiger is ready to return.

Although the draw against Al Hilal gave both teams a valuable point, Real Madrid hopes to be the leader of its group after its match against Pachuca. Having faced this club in the Intercontinental Cup, Real Madrid trusts it can win.
The desired return to Real Madrid
Since his arrival at Real Madrid during the summer of 2022, Antonio Rüdiger has become one of the club's best center-backs. With great aerial play, outstanding defensive solidity, and security with the ball, Rüdiger is key to Real Madrid's backline. However, after a long season, Rüdiger ended up making the decision to undergo surgery.
A partial tear of the external meniscus in his left leg was the reason for his absence for several weeks. Although this didn't affect Real Madrid's results during the last matches, his absence has been very noticeable during the World Cup.

Despite the high level of Huijsen and Asencio, it's clear that Real Madrid needs Rüdiger's experience and leadership. Because of this, after a long wait, Real Madrid trusts it can get the victory against Pachuca thanks to Rüdiger's presence.
The starting spot against Pachuca
Although many players return gradually after surgery, this hasn't been the case with Antonio Rüdiger. Given his importance to Real Madrid's backline, the club can't wait to have Rüdiger back for a key match.
