Coming at such a crucial point in the season, this is very good news for the team.
Reinforcements are slowly returning to Real Madrid’s defense after a spate of injuries. Antonio Rüdiger is now ‘ready’ to take the field. According to Spanish media, the defender, having recovered from a knee injury, will get a few minutes of game time in the upcoming match.
Real Madrid will face Real Sociedad in La Liga on Saturday. The match at Santiago Bernabéu is set to kick off at 2 AM Bangladesh time.
Like last time, the Spanish giants have struggled with injuries since the start of the season, particularly in defense. Dani Carvajal, Antonio Rüdiger, Ferland Mendy, and Trent Alexander-Arnold have spent most of the season sidelined.
After nearly two months out, English fullback Alexander-Arnold made a substitute appearance last week in the 2-0 victory over Valencia. Meanwhile, the German center-back Rüdiger, who suffered a knee injury last month in the Spanish Super Cup semi-final against Atlético Madrid, now looks set to return.
According to the media, Rüdiger will feature for a short period against Sociedad. If all goes according to plan, he could start in Tuesday’s Champions League Round of 16 play-off match against Benfica.
