Completes four clearances Rudiger recorded four clearances in Saturday's 3-2 defeat against Villarreal.

Impact Rudiger is averaging about 2.6 clearances a match, generating 26 in the last eight games.

In all competitions, Rudiger has managed to total two goals, 70 clearances and 20 tackles (16 won).

Good to go Wednesday Rudiger (strain) is in the starting XI for Wednesday's match against Japan.

Impact Rudiger is ready as expected after dealing with a muscle injury the last couple weeks. He's always in play to hit the back of the net given his size on set pieces and he's favored to secure a clean sheet against Japan to open the World Cup.

Trains with team Rudiger (strain) took part in full team training Saturday, according to Kerry Hau.

Impact Rudiger returned to a full team session Saturday and should be on pace for a return to the starting XI in the World Cup opener. The center-back will likely partner Nico Schlotterbeck in central defense, assuming Niklas Sule takes up a role at right-back. Rudiger missed his final three domestic matches with the muscular issue before traveling to the World Cup.

Trains separately Tuesday Rudiger (strain) trained on his own during Tuesday's session, according to the DFB.

Impact Rudiger missed two of the last three matches entirely due to injury, though his absence was more of a precaution with the World Cup on the horizon. So long as he continues to work on his fitness, there should be little doubt of Rudiger starting in the Nov. 23 opener against Japan.

NOVEMBER 15, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Officially out Thursday Rudiger (strain) isn't available for Thursday's match against Cadiz.

Impact Rudiger wasn't expected to play over the past week and his absence from the squad list makes his absence official. He'll now target a return for Germany at the World Cup, as he's likely to be a starter if fully fit and Eder Militao should keep his place in the lineup for one more game. Over his first months at Real Madrid, Rudiger scored twice and kept three clean sheets in 16 appearances (10 starts).

Likely out next two games Rudiger didn't make the squad list for Monday's match against Rayo Vallecano and isn't expected to be fit for Thursday's match against Cadiz either, according to manager Carlo Ance...

Impact Rudiger was left on the bench for Wednesday's win over Celtic and after not training Saturday there's been further rulings on his health. While he's out, Eder Militao figures to start the final two games before the World Cup. For Rudiger, it's uncertain how long he'll be out if he doesn't play Thursday but at the moment it seems unlikely his health will impede his participation in Qatar with the German national team.

Makes five clearances Rudiger recorded five clearances and a block in Wednesday's 3-0 victory over Elche.

Impact Rudiger was back in the starting XI after picking up a nasty head injury on Oct 11. He had a season high of clearances and was Madrid's best defender in the match. He usually does not start every match as the team alternates putting David Alaba as a center defender or as a left back. Still adjusting to playing in La Liga, the German has a total of 28 clearances, six tackles (five won) and four blocks thus far.

Makes bench for Clasico Rudiger (head) made the bench for Sunday's match against Barcelona.

Impact Rudiger couldn't do enough to start but he may not even have been picked in order to maintain everyone's fitness. Regardless, it's impressive for him to be back given how swollen the area around his eye was all week and he still participated in training. Should he see the field Sunday, it will all but certainly be while wearing a mask, something he's done in the past with Chelsea.

Trains Friday Rudiger (head) was able to participate in Friday's training session ahead of Sunday's match against Barcelona.

Impact Rudiger looked visibly swollen in posted photos but if he's able to train, he has a good shot of playing in some capacity so long as he wears a mask to protect his head. It's still probably best to expect David Alaba and Eder Militao to start at center-back just to be safe with Rudiger after his head was cut from a punch after he scored the equalizer in Tuesday's draw with Shakhtar Donetsk.

Will need mask to play Rudiger is expected to need a mask to play in Sunday's match against Barcelona and will only be cleared if more swelling subsides so he can see clearly, according to Santiago Sigue...

Impact Rudiger appears visibly swollen over his left eye after getting punched while scoring Tuesday against Shakhtar and while he trained in the gym Thursday, his chances of starting Sunday aren't likely to be as high. As a result, David Alaba and Eder Militao are likely to be the top options for El Clasico unless Nacho is given a chance to play.

OCTOBER 13, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Should be fine Rudiger took a cut on his head during Tuesday's 1-1 draw with Shakhtar but isn't likely to be out for long, according to manager Carlo Ancelotti.

Impact The blood covering Rudiger's white shirt made the situation seem more dramatic as he scored the equalizer and was punched in the head by the goalkeeper. Whether he's seriously hurt or not, Rudiger has started in three of the last four matches and will hope to keep his place for Sunday's El Clasico against Barcelona. Should Rudiger still miss out, David Alaba and Eder Militao would then start at center-back.

Scores and takes head injury Rudiger scored once on three shots (one on goal), taking a heavy hit to the head in the process during Tuesday's one-all draw with Shakhtar.

Impact Rudiger was truly the hero of Madrid on Tuesday, going up bravely for a ball in stoppage time and powerfully heading home the equalizer. Unfortunately the defending had a nasty collision with Anatolii Trubin with both player requiring treatment and clean up. It's almost certain that Rudiger took some sort of nose or head injury, putting his status into doubt for Sunday's El Clasico. David Alaba or Nacho could get the start over Rudiger if he is unable to play.

Takes two shots in win Rudiger took two shots (one on goal) and made one interception during Sunday's 2-1 win over Almeria.

Impact Rudiger played the full 90 in his league debut in Spain and did well to get forward. He'll need to keep up strong play in order to maintain his place in the lineup as David Alaba and Eder Militao in addition to Nacho make the competition for minutes quite strong.
