In a promising development for Real Madrid, recent photos from their training ground have brought positive news for the team. The confirmation has arrived that Antonio Rüdiger has rejoined group training sessions under the guidance of manager Carlo Ancelotti.
Rüdiger’s absence due to thigh injury
Rüdiger, a crucial defender for Los Blancos, had to sit out the last four matches across various competitions due to a thigh injury sustained during a game against Getafe earlier this month. His absence posed a challenge for Ancelotti, especially considering the importance of a solid defense in the team’s performances.
The initial hope was for Rüdiger to recover swiftly and resume his duties on matchdays. However, the anticipated return didn’t materialize as expected, leading Ancelotti to implement emergency measures to address the defensive gaps in the squad.
Rüdiger returns to action
The latest update indicates a positive turn of events as Rüdiger was spotted back in action at Valdebebas, Real Madrid’s training ground, on Thursday. Photos from the training session captured Rüdiger linking up with his teammates, actively participating in the morning session. This development comes as a significant boost for the team and its supporters, hinting at Rüdiger’s imminent return to the pitch.
With reports circulating on Wednesday regarding Rüdiger’s potential availability for the upcoming match against Sevilla, it was widely believed that his readiness to engage in training sessions on Thursday and Friday would be crucial. The positive signs observed during Thursday’s training session suggest that the 30-year-old defender is on track for a comeback, potentially bolstering Real Madrid’s defensive lineup in the upcoming fixtures.
