Antonio Rüdiger Sidelined for Nearly Two Months Following Knee Surgery
Real Madrid has confirmed that defender Antonio Rüdiger will be out of action for close to two months after undergoing surgery. The German international sustained a partial rupture in the external meniscus of his left leg, an injury that required immediate medical attention.
“Rüdiger has been successfully operated on today for a partial rupture in the external meniscus of his left leg,” the club announced in an official statement. The surgery, deemed successful by the medical team, marks the beginning of a recovery period that could see the center-back miss several key fixtures for both club and country.
Rüdiger, known for his physical presence and defensive leadership, has been a vital part of Real Madrid’s backline this season. His absence will pose a challenge for manager Carlo Ancelotti as the team continues to compete in both domestic and European competitions.
The 31-year-old will now focus on his rehabilitation with the club’s medical staff, aiming for a full recovery ahead of the final stages of the season. Fans and teammates alike will be hoping for a swift return to fitness for the dependable defender.
Real Madrid has not provided an exact timeline for Rüdiger’s return, but early estimates suggest a recovery period of around eight weeks.
