A very fierce tackle aimed at Greenwood in Real Madrid’s 2-0 win over Getafe in the early morning accidentally caused an injury to Rudiger.
The fierce situation between Rudiger and Greenwood took place at the end of the first half, when the score was 1-0 in favor of Real. Luka Modric appeared to be out of breath at the speed of the striker who is playing for Getafe on loan from Man Utd.
Realizing Greenwood’s ability to pose an extremely high danger to Real Madrid’s goal, Rudiger immediately took action.
The German international rushed in quite fiercely to clear the ball right at Greenwood’s feet, causing Rudiger to also crash into Man Utd loanee.
The impact was clearly very strong, but Greenwood was unharmed and continued playing. Meanwhile, Rudiger was injured but tried to continue playing.
After the match, coach Carlo Ancelotti praised Rudiger for “being a warrior” and said the former Chelsea star had a slight pain. Today, Rudiger will be examined further to determine the severity.
Real Madrid fans are very worried about Rudiger’s condition because the home team is about to play two important matches against Altetico and Girona. However, according to Spanish media, the 30-year-old centre-back’s ability to play against Atletico Madrid in round 23 of La Liga on February 5 may not be affected.
