“Rudiger, Vinicius, and Nacho all uncertain for Saturday’s game against Girona

Antonio Rudiger, Nacho Fernandez, and Vinicius Junior are all uncertain for Saturday’s crucial encounter against Girona in La Liga. None of them participated in Wednesday’s training session with the rest of the team, indicating they may require additional recovery time.

Rudiger is contending with inflammation in his thigh following a heavy knock sustained during the previous week’s match against Getafe. Although the German defender had shown signs of improvement and was considered for the Derby, the inflammation continues to trouble him.

Nacho is experiencing muscle fatigue, necessitating a break from training sessions, while Vinicius is still grappling with neck pain that sidelined him from facing Atletico last Sunday. Consequently, Real Madrid might once again face squad shortages as they prepare to host Girona in a pivotal match in the race for the 2023-2024 La Liga title.
