Makes nine clearances in win Rudiger had nine clearances and one interception in Tuesday's 1-0 victory versus Benfica.

Impact Rudiger was solid in his first 90-minute outing since recovering from a knee issue. He completed 58 accurate passes while coming close to a double-digit clearance tally for the first time this season. Additionally, he earned his fourth clean sheet over 10 La Liga or UCL games played in the 2025/26 campaign. He'll look to retain a regular spot as part of a four-man back line if he stays fit for upcoming fixtures.

Option against Valencia Rudiger (knee) is on the bench for Sunday's match against Valencia.

Impact Rudiger was back in training this week and has made the team sheet, with the German an option for the first time in around a month. He should make it back to the starting XI next outing, with seven appearances (six starts), hoping to avoid the injury bug after already missing 21 games through injury this campaign.

Might return Sunday Rudiger (knee) could be an option for Sunday's clash against Valencia after training in full this week, according to Madrid Xtra.

Impact Rudiger was back in full training this week and is trending toward being available for Sunday's clash against Valencia. That would be a major lift for the backline since the German has been a regular starter when healthy and is positioned to step right back into a meaningful role with Eder Militao (hamstring) still sidelined for some time.

Returns to training Friday Rudiger (knee) returned to training Friday and could be an option for Sunday's game against Rayo Vallecano, according to Juan Ignacio Garcia of MARCA.

Impact Rudiger missed Wednesday's loss against Benfica in the UEFA Champions League, but his return to training suggests the center-back could be an option over the weekend. Rudiger hasn't played since the 5-1 win over Real Betis on Jan. 4. but if healthy, he should be an option to start right away.
