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.

Top 50 players at 2022 World Cup, No. 36: Antonio Rüdiger

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.

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.

Impact This move had been rumored for a few months and it's confirmed shortly after the end of the season for Real Madrid.
