This Wednesday the German central defender Antonio Rüdiger underwent several medical tests that determined that he did not suffer any type of bone injury in the strong blow he suffered in the match against Shakhtar, and that he needed to be applied 20 stitches on the forehead.
The player is expected to have a mask fitted to play with his face protected , and at the moment he is not ruled out for the Clasico against FC Barcelona this Sunday.
The Real Madrid medical team carried out a radiological study on Rüdiger, which according to to EFE from the white club, ruled out that he suffers a bone injury due to the strong impact against goalkeeper Anatoli Trubin.
The event occurred during the action that gave the meringues a draw in the minute 95 of the match against Shakhtar, and that represented the mathematical classification to the round of 16.
Measurements have been taken of Rüdiger’s face to urgently create a mask so that the German can try it out in training, before deciding on his presence in Sunday’s duel against Barcelona at the Santiago Bernabéu stadium. During his time at Chelsea he has already played with a mask.
