Real Madrid will be without their best defender for most of February as Antonio Rüdiger deals with a new hamstring injury.
Injuries have decimated Real Madrid's backline this season and things just got even worse for the defending Spanish and European champions. Rüdiger has now joined Éder Militão and Dani Carvajal on the sidelines after sustaining an injury to the biceps femoris in his right leg against Espanyol.
The Germany international was the leader of Carlo Ancelotti's makeshift defense. Rüdiger started all but two of Real Madrid's 36 matches across all competitions this season. He routinely logged 90 minutes as well due to the team's defensive injury woes.
Now, Real Madrid must survive without the 31-year-old in their biggest matches of the season coming up.
