Antonio Rüdiger is the latest Real Madrid defender to suffer an injury, leaving Carlo Ancelotti without many defensive options moving forward.
Rüdiger was forced to come off the pitch just 15 minutes into Real Madrid's 0–1 defeat to Espanyol on Feb. 1. The center back went up to defend a cross and came down awkwardly on his right leg. He immediately asked for assistance and soon limped to the sidelines with the training staff.
