Antonio Rüdiger is still a possibility for Real Madrid in the Copa del Rey Clásico

Due to the second leg of the Copa del Rey semifinals, Antonio Rüdiger was unexpectedly left out of Real Madrid’s squad for their match against Valladolid on Sunday. However, this does not mean that he will miss Wednesday’s Clásico against FC Barcelona.

The Real Madrid team put on a fantastic display during their 6-0 victory over Real Valladolid. However, hours earlier, the White House was gripped with fear following Antonio Rüdiger’s unexpected departure in the final hour of the match. As a result, Reggiolo’s coach decided to revert to his original strategy, even though the plan worked out well.

Given the absence of Nacho Fernández by sanction and Ferland Mendy by injury, it is most likely that Ancelotti took a gamble with the two head offices of Antonio Rüdiger and Eder Militao, moving David Praises to the left side of the field to force Eduardo Camavinga to split from the center. However, the German’s absence meant that Madrid started the game with the number twelve in the left band, double pivoting with Tchouameni and Kroos in addition to four forwards. Although the team was very offensive, the wager ended up being quite successful, but there was still uncertainty about Chelsea’s former player.

Carlo Ancelotti dismissed Antonio Rüdiger’s injury.
Even though there are still no concrete evidence to determine the extent of the frustrations that caused him to lose the Sunday party at Santiago Bernabéu, the Madrid descartan stated that it was a very serious issue and that they even expected it to be included in the news of their trip to Barcelona for this Wednesday’s Glass of Rey semifinal match at Spotify Camp Nou.

“We still do not know it but the feeling is that it was much better, almost without pain,” Ancelotti said in the press room. “Monday will have a proof I do not understand of knees, but do not think that was serious problem,” he added. Today’s walk went well, despite a minor annoyance. It will prove useful to him and be appreciated.

A life-or-death classic for the Madrid
Ancelotti anticipates that every member of his team will pay a visit to FC Barcelona, as the team is aware of how frequently it plays and that losing in the Glass of Rey will be a disaster for them due to the intricacy of La Liga and the Russian roulette of the Champions League. After losing by the minimum at Santiago Bernabéu (0-1) they move to contracorriente and would need to perform an almost flawless party to reverse the outcome in the Barcelona feud.
