As confirmed earlier today by Real Madrid, Antonio Rudiger has undergone knee surgery to address a problem that had been plaguing him for months together now.
As a result of the surgery, the 32-year-old German international will now be out of action for the rest of the season and could be sidelined for close to two months.
It would mean that Rudiger is staring at the risk of missing the FIFA Club World Cup in the summer as well as the UEFA Nations League with the German national team.
Rudiger’s message after surgery
Following the successful surgery today, Rudiger took to social media to send a message of positivity and hope to the fans.
