Thigh injury confirmed Rudiger was taken off during Thursday's 2-0 win over Getafe due to a thigh injury, per Guillerno Rai of the Athletic FC. Impact Rudiger picked up a thigh injury that forced him to limp off in pain at halftime. With important clashes with both third and second place teams, Real Madrid do not want to risk further injury to the defender, which means he will be a heavy doubt for Sunday's derby match against Atletico Madrid. If this is the case, then changes would have to be made to the backline, with both Nacho and Dani Caravjal likely to get the start at center back, with Lucas Vasquez an option to start at right back again.
