Carlo Ancelotti's side have struggled to play at their best and, after 11 rounds, sit six points behind FC Barcelona, who lost 4-0 last weekend. Additionally, she had to deal with several injury issues.
One of them, David Alaba, has still not returned from the anterior cruciate ligament injury he suffered last December. Due to his absence and the fact that Ancelotti does not count on Jesus Vallejo, Antonio Rudiger has hardly had any rest.
Rudiger has reached his limits
This is a big problem for Real Madrid, as their plan for this season was to make sure the German defender gets enough rest – since he didn't, the risk of injury is higher. Relevo detailed this, with the report stating that club officials are concerned about his knee.
Rudiger has injured the same knee five times in his career, and his increased workload makes a sixth injury this season more likely. Real Madrid are very worried, but due to the lack of options they can't do much.
