Real Madrid and German national team center-back Antonio Rüdiger may end his professional career early due to injury. Sport24.az reports that the 32-year-old footballer has been diagnosed with the initial stage of osteoarthrosis.
This disease causes the destruction of cartilage tissue in the joints.
It is reported that Real Madrid is aware of Rüdiger's health problems, but has refused to transfer a defender to replace the German footballer.
Antonio Rüdiger joined Real Madrid in the summer of 2022 from Chelsea on a free agent status. The footballer's current contract with the club is valid until the summer of 2026. The 32-year-old defender has participated in a total of 49 matches this season, scoring 3 goals and providing 1 assist.
