Antonio Rüdiger has osteoarthritis in his knees. Due to a partial rupture of the lateral meniscus in his left knee, the REAL MADRID defender had surgery. In the past, a significant pain in his knee prevented the German from finishing a Copa del Rey final match against Barcelona (2:3). The footballer has reportedly taken painkillers for the past eight months, including while exercising, according to reports.
El Confidencial claims that Rüdiger has early osteoarthritis in his left knee and had been experiencing pain there the entire season. The 32-year-old defender’s career is in danger of ending because to this joint ailment, which typically appears between the ages of 40 and 50. It should be noted that the player’s persistent pain, which had been present for more than a year, was well known to Real Madrid’s medical personnel. As a result, the German’s left knee was frequently seen heavily bandaged.
However, the management did nothing to bolster the defense in spite of Carlo Ancelotti’s entreaties. The team didn’t sign any defenders following the unsuccessful summer move of Leni Yoro.
