It has been a huge season for Real Madrid, and that has now started to take its toll on the first team team. Their level fell in 2025, and for some players the excessive number of matches has also led to concerns about injury problems.
And the player who runs the most risk is Antonio Rudiger, who was forced almost every minute to play because of long -term injuries to Eder Militao and David Alaba until almost every minute. He was lucky to get some well -deserved rest in recent weeks, but it appears that it has done little to help the problems he has had to deal with.
During his career, Rudiger has sustained several large knee injuries. He suffered an ACL Teacher in 2016, and three years later he had an operation to solve a different problem. And these issues have started a serious effect on him in recent months.
As reported by Reloo, Rudiger – who will enter into contract negotiations with Real Madrid in the coming weeks – has had discomfort in his meniscus in recent months and because of no persistent rest period, the problem has gradually become worse. He has been able to tolerate it so far, but it is not excluded that he is forced to undergo surgery to resolve the issue.
Rudiger is expected to be a starter for the crucial matches of Real Madrid between now and the end of the season, including two Clasicos against Barcelona in La Liga and the Copa del Rey final. But it would be no surprise to see Carlo Ancelotti, whose future is at stake a lot, with the help of Raul Asencio, Alaba and Aurelien Tchouameni as partnerships in competitions that are considered against easier opposition.
