Suffers quadriceps injury Rudiger was diagnosed with a left quadriceps injury and will be sidelined for the time being, the club announced Friday.

Impact Rudiger underwent tests following Friday's training session, and while there's no clear timetable for his return, he's expected to miss a few games even in a best-case scenario. This means Dean Huijsen and Eder Militao should continue to start at center-back going forward, with David Alaba and Raul Asencio providing depth.

Rudiger will likely build his fitness back gradually before reclaiming some starting spots.
