After scandal in the cup final
Rüdiger after knee surgery: everything for Nations League
Antonio Rüdiger is operated on after the scandal in the Spanish cup final. The real defender fails for weeks. He still has two appointments on the piece of paper – but it should be tight.
Defense chief Antonio Rüdiger hopes despite his knee surgery to participate in the final tournament of the Nations League with the German national football team. “I want to be able to play again as soon as possible, as the Nations League and the Club World Cup have two big tournaments in front of me,” wrote the defender on Instagram. “But now I have to look from week to week and we will see. I will do everything I can to make it possible.”
According to his club, the 32-year-old from Real Madrid had contracted a partial tear of the outer meniscus in the left leg and has already been operated on successfully. Spanish media expect a forced break of at least six to eight weeks. Rüdiger showed himself on his own Instagram account in the bedside with a raised thumb.
Pain for more than seven months
He had played under severe pain for more than seven months, so the operation was inevitable. “Now I’m finally pain -free again,” he wrote.
The German national team will meet Portugal on June 4 in the semi -finals of the Nations League in Munich. Despite Rüdiger’s violent freaking out in the Spanish cup final and the following debate about hard sanctions, DFB sports director Rudi Völler had shown on Monday that the national team will continue to defend the defender.
Scandal for tantrum at the cup final
Rüdiger had insulted the referee Wüst shortly before the extension of the final against FC Barcelona (2: 3) and thrown at an object. The defender, which had already been replaced a few minutes earlier, saw the red card for this. He threatens a long lock in Spain.
Rüdiger had not been able to end the final because of his injuries. Now he fails because of the injury, regardless of a lock for the final sprint in the Spanish title race and the next duel with league leader FC Barcelona on May 11th. It is questionable whether Rüdiger for the Nations League and the following club World Cup in the USA will be fit and operational again in June and July.
Kahn shows understanding for Rüdiger
In the debate for his freak, the international jumped to Toni Kroos, Jens Lehmann and Max Kruse. “Emotions on the pitch are not always helpful. But who doesn’t even shoot the target,” wrote the former national goalkeeper on social media. Rüdiger showed insight. “That should be enough,” Kahn said.
Kroos had also spoken in favor of not rating Rüdiger’s dropouts too hard. “He gets his punishment that will be justified. But we still don’t have to pretend that he has killed anyone,” said the former world champion, who had played with Rüdiger together at Real Madrid.
