Real Madrid Confidencial Rüdiger's gesture during training excites Madridists, warning to Militão
The great show of strength from Rüdiger with which Militao has been warned
One of the most important players in all of Real Madrid is Antonio Rüdiger. The center-back, who couldn't play the match against Osasuna due to suspension, may return to play against Real Oviedo. In Real Madrid's recent training session, the German showed his strength by enduring a "fight" with Raúl Asencio.
Although without much tension, both center-backs found themselves locked in a duel where they tried to push each other. Rüdiger surprised not only by withstanding Asencio, who isn't exactly fragile, but also by almost knocking him down. This shoulder charge, of course, is great news for Xabi Alonso and for Real Madrid.
According to what we know at Defensa Central, Rüdiger could be the starting center-back alongside Dean Huijse for the match against Oviedo. This situation would leave Militao out, who played the debut against Osasuna alongside the young Spaniard. While Real Madrid's starting eleven for this match is a mystery, Rüdiger has shown he's ready to return to the field.
Rüdiger's strength
At 32 years old, Antonio Rüdiger's importance at Real Madrid has increased over the years. Arriving from Chelsea in 2022, the German was the starting center-back throughout last season. With Alaba and Militao's injuries, Rüdiger proved he was up to Real Madrid's expectations.
The 4,539 minutes (4,539) of playing time last season were clear proof of his relevance. While the 6-match suspension deprived Madrid of its best center-back, Rüdiger took the opportunity to undergo surgery and be able to play at his best level. Now, Madridists are awaiting the return of a center-back who has earned all their affection.
Although Militao played a great match against Osasuna, doubts about his fitness remain. This is not surprising since, in the last two seasons, Militao has suffered serious injuries to both knees. In light of this, Rüdiger has shown his physical prowess after the friendly duel he had with Raúl Asencio.
A desired return
Being in the last season of his contract, there is still no information regarding Rüdiger's future at Real Madrid. The player, however, hasn't shown any concern about this. For now, his only major goal is to play again with Real Madrid and help the club achieve its goals for the season.
