Real Madrid have published a medical report on defender Antonio Rudiger, who will be out around two weeks with the hamstring injury he picked up during the match against Espanyol on Saturday.

Rudiger will definitely miss the first leg of the Champions League’s Round of 32 against Manchester City and his presence in the return leg —which will be played on January 19th— is all but ruled out as well.
If he ends up missing both games, Real Madrid will have to rely on both Raul Asencio and Aurelien Tchouameni to stop Erling Haaland, who looked visibly uncomfortable against Rudiger a year ago.
This is devastating news for Real Madrid, as Rudiger will be injured in a crucial stretch of the schedule.
