Antonio Rüdiger will be out for about two weeks due to the blow he suffered a week and a half ago. It seemed like it was something minor, but after spending all these days resting, new tests have confirmed his injury. He will not reach the Champions League and Madrid is now without centre-backs

"After the proofs made today to our player Antonio Rüdiger by the Medical Services of the Real Madrid has diagnosed him a muscular injury in the vast side of the left thigh. Slope of evolution". With this unexpected medical communiqué the Madrid announced that the central German no only will not play against the Girona, but it will be of drop by fault of the hit that received against the Getafe some two weeks like minimum.

It is a varapalo very hard for Carlo Ancelotti and for the Real Madrid, since the defender was being the pillar on which built the defence merengue. Without him and without Nacho Fernández, that also has lesionado this week, the madridistas remain without head offices to confront to the Girona and surely also for the Champions League. The germano does not go to arrive to the duel of this next Tuesday 13 February against the RB Leizpig, generating a problemón in his team.

Ancelotti, without healthy head offices in the first team

Face the gone against the Leipzig already only without Rüdiger would be a drama for the white picture, but is that they could do it without the German and also without Nacho. The Madrilenian, that is doing a season to forget, also is 'touched' and is not at all clear that can arrive to the duel in Germany. With Éder Militao and David Praises lesionados from the past year, Ancelotti does not have more available defenders in the first team. In the filial, the two main options, Carrillo and Marvel, also are 'KO', and the only alternative is Jacobo Ramón, that precisely has gone summoned against the Girona in spite of neither have debuted still.

With this hard panorama, Ancelotti could have to improvise for the most important party of what goes of campaign with a couple of head offices formed by Tchouaméni and Dani Carvajal, that played here in the derbi, or the French with Ferland Mendy, that by conditions also could do a 'arrangement' here. It will be necessary to see if the madridistas go out 'alive' in League of Champions and if they attain to not to leave too many points in League, something that will not be simple.
