Another loss for Real Madrid? Key team defender misses training

During the rescheduled match of the twentieth round of La Liga, held on Thursday between Real Madrid and Getafe, Antonio Rüdiger suffered an injury in the first half, forcing Los Blancos' coach Carlo Ancelotti to replace him at halftime.

Apparently, the injury turned out to be quite serious, as per Marca's information, the German footballer has not returned to training yet.

As a result, Ancelotti has begun devising a plan for the defender's potential prolonged absence. According to information from The Athletic, the Italian tactician has decided that Nacho Fernandez and Dani Carvajal will assume the roles of central defenders.

Rüdiger has featured in 21 La Liga matches this season, missing only one game when his team defeated Valencia (5-1) as he was suspended.

Having joined Real Madrid in 2022, Rüdiger has played 83 matches for the team. He has already secured several trophies with Los Blancos, winning the Club World Cup, UEFA Super Cup, Copa del Rey, and the Spanish Super Cup.
