Rüdiger doubts in Real Madrid vs. Atlético: Risk in Super Cup semi-final

Real Madrid’s central defender, Antonio Rüdiger, is doubtful for the Spanish Super Cup semi-final against Atlético de Madrid, which will be played in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia. The match is scheduled for this Thursday at 20:00 (CET). Rüdiger is experiencing knee discomfort, which puts his participation in the match at risk. If not available, Dean Huijsen could take his place in central defense, partnering with Raúl Asencio.

Important Losses

The team will not have Kylian Mbappé, due to a knee sprain. The French striker has been key this season, scoring 29 goals out of the team’s 59. Éder Militao will also be absent, as he continues to recover from a left hamstring injury. Also, Brahim Díaz is participating in the Africa Cup with Morocco and will not be available. If Real Madrid wins this semi-final, they will face FC Barcelona in the final on Sunday, a team that defeated Athletic Club with a score of 5-0.
