Rome, 29 April (LaPresse) – Antonio Rudiger underwent surgery today for a partial tear of the outer meniscus in his left leg. The German defender for Real Madrid had to leave the pitch in the 111th minute of the Copa del Rey final. The defender suffers from discomfort in both knees due to premature osteoarthritis and will be out for between four and six weeks. Therefore, his return for the rest of the season is not ruled out, with his sights set on the Club World Cup and the Nations League Final Four with Germany.
