What injury does Rudiger have and how long will the Real Madrid center-back be out?

Real Madrid is drawing nil-nil against Espanyol away. But aside from the result,  the bad news is Antonio Rüdiger's injury in the first half. This has led to Raúl Asencio entering the field, who has a great opportunity at his feet.

Real Madrid's player has withdrawn with discomfort in his hamstring. Everything indicates that tomorrow Sunday or Monday, he will undergo tests. From here, we will be able to know the extent of his injury.

Rüdiger and his significant injury

The German player has established himself as one of the important pieces of the team and his injury at this moment is a nightmare. The discomfort in the hamstring of his right leg became evident thanks to the broadcast images of the match.

The worst of all happens to be the Merengue calendar, as they have several high-caliber matches in a few days. One of them, for the Copa del Rey against Leganés and followed by the Madrid classic in between. Subsequently, the first leg at the Etihad Stadium against Manchester City for the UEFA Champions League.

Everything points to the German defender being the most significant absence for the Chamartín team for these matches. However, we will have to wait for his return to Madrid to clearly define his medical situation. Something that the club's relevant services have already begun to evaluate, hoping to find a solution as soon as possible.
