Antonio Rüdiger has resumed training with Real Madrid's first team following his recent injury. The German defender had suffered a rupture in his right biceps femoris earlier this month, which was initially expected to sideline him for approximately three weeks. However, his recovery has progressed ahead of schedule, allowing him to rejoin the squad for training sessions.
Real Madrid head coach Carlo Ancelotti confirmed that both Rüdiger and fellow defender David Alaba are improving and have rejoined group training. Their availability for the upcoming UEFA Champions League clash against Manchester City will depend on their performance in the final training sessions and further medical assessments.
The return of Rüdiger and Alaba comes at a crucial moment for Real Madrid, as the team has been dealing with multiple injuries in their defensive lineup. Their potential inclusion is expected to strengthen the squad’s backline ahead of the decisive match against the Premier League champions.
Meanwhile, Manchester City will be without defender Manuel Akanji for the second leg of the Champions League play-off against Real Madrid. Akanji sustained a muscular injury in the first leg, adding to City's defensive concerns as they prepare for the critical fixture.
