Question marks surround Antonio Rüdiger's place at the 2025 FIFA Club World Cup after the Real Madrid defender underwent a serious knee surgery that ended his season.
Real Madrid confirmed the 32-year-old went under the knife to repair "a tear in the outer meniscus of his left knee." With only five games left in the 2024–25 season, Rüdiger will spent the rest of Los Blancos' La Liga campaign on the sidelines.
