Overview
- Real Madrid’s medical report identifies a lesion in the rectus anterior of Antonio Rüdiger’s left leg following tests on Friday.
- Rüdiger felt a sharp pain late in the Valdebebas training session and imaging immediately confirmed the injury.
- Press-cited medical sources estimate an absence of 10 to 12 weeks, which would likely keep him out until December.
- He was left out of the squad for the trip to Anoeta to face Real Sociedad after the injury was detected.
- Xabi Alonso can turn to Dean Huijsen, Éder Militão, David Alaba and Raúl Asencio at centre-back, with Aurélien Tchouaméni an additional option, as other absentees include Jude Bellingham, Eduardo Camavinga, Endrick and Ferland Mendy.
