Rüdiger in Doubt for Super Cup Semi-Final
Real Madrid center-back Antonio Rüdiger is doubtful for the Spanish Super Cup semi-final match against Atlético de Madrid, which will be played in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia.
The meeting is scheduled for this Thursday.
Rüdiger is suffering from knee discomfort, which puts his participation in the match at risk.
In case he can’t play, Dean Huijsen could take his place in defense.
Huijsen has overcome a muscle overload and would be ready to partner in the center of the defense with Raúl Asencio.Confirmed Absences

Éder Militao will also be out, as he continues to recover from a hamstring injury.
Also, Brahim Díaz is participating in the Africa Cup with Morocco.
If Real Madrid wins, they would face FC Barcelona in the final on Sunday.
