Antonio Rudiger News: Still suspended one game

Rudiger is back fit for Real Madrid but will miss the season opener against Osasuna next Tuesday as he still has one game remaining on his six-match suspension for throwing an object at an official in April, the league announced in April.

Rudiger has fully recovered from his knee injury and is fit for the start of the new season with the Merengues. That said, he still has one suspension game remaining from his total of six, which resulted from throwing an object at an official last April. Rudiger was an undisputed starter for Real Madrid last season, but it remains unclear if he will keep that role heading into the new season under new coach Xabi Alonso, with Eder Militao potentially stepping in for that game.
