While Real Madrid welcomes Atlético Madrid this Sunday in La Liga, Carlo Ancelotti will have to tinker in defense.
Hit in the left leg Thursday evening during Real Madrid’s victory at Getafe (0-2), Antonio Rüdiger had to leave his partners at the break. “Rüdiger took a strong blow, but I think he can recover. He’s a warrior. We will see in the coming days”indicated Carlo Ancelotti in a post-match press conference.
Yes but there you have it, the exams taken on Friday by the German defender revealed a strong contusion and a hematoma on the left thigh, according to information from The Athletic. So much so that his presence for the Madrid derby against Atlético on Sunday evening (9 p.m.) is compromised. Which will certainly give Carlo Ancelotti some headaches…
Who to accompany Nacho for the derby?
Indeed, the White House is already decimated in central defense. Militao and David Alaba are still injured, while Aurélien Tchouaméni will be suspended to face the Colchoneros. According to Marca, Dani Carvajal or Ferland Mendy could thus be aligned alongside Nacho Fernandez. It is also not excluded that the transalpine coach will call on Eduardo Camavinga.
