Antonio Rudiger, Real Madrid's centre-back, may be sidelined for two months following knee surgery for a meniscus tear suffered during the Copa del Rey final against Barcelona. Initially troubled by pain, he returned to play despite limitations, ultimately prompting surgical intervention. Reports indicate he could be out for four to six weeks, though two months is also a possibility. His absence is expected to affect Madrid's domestic campaign concluding on May 25, but he remains hopeful to return for the Nations League and Club World Cup tournaments in June.
After I have played more than seven month with severe pain, it was unfortunately unavoidable that I had to undergo a meniscus surgery. Now I'm finally pain-free again.
It's highly unlikely that Rudiger will play any part in the remainder of Real Madrid's domestic campaign, which concludes on 25 May.
Regardless of the exact diagnosis, the German defender could miss as many as two months after undergoing knee surgery.
I want to be able to play again as soon as possible as two big tournaments with the Nations League and the Club World Cup are in front of me.
