Antonio Rudiger picks up thigh injury, ruled out for Real Madrid | OneFootball

The German defender Antonio Rudiger has suffered a muscle injury in his thigh, announced his club, Real Madrid, this Friday, without specifying how long he will be sidelined, although the Spanish press estimates it could take several weeks.

“After the tests carried out today on our player Toni Rudiger by the Real Madrid Medical Services, a rectus femoris muscle injury in the left leg was diagnosed,” the Spanish club stated in a brief communiqué.

The injury, concluded Real Madrid in the note, is “pending evolution.” The German player sustained the injury during a training session this Friday, the day before the match of the team led by coach Xabi Alonso against Real Sociedad in San Sebastián.

According to the newspaper AS, Rudiger suffered a “serious” rupture and could be out for about two months.

The injury of the 32-year-old defender, who played almost two full matches for the German national team against Slovakia and Northern Ireland, adds to those of Eduardo Camavinga, Endrick, Jude Bellingham, and Ferland Mendy.

Real Madrid leads the Spanish Championship with three wins in three games and nine points, the same as Athletic Bilbao.
