Real Madrid defender Antonio Rüdiger will once again start in the lineup in the Champions League match against Benfica. This was reported by Zamin.uz.

This was reported by euro-football.ru. The "Royal Club" will host Benfica at home in the second leg of the playoff stage.

The match is scheduled to take place on Wednesday. According to Diario AS, head coach Alvaro Arbeloa and his assistants plan to start Rüdiger this time, who was on the bench in the La Liga match against Osasuna (1:2).

Real is taking precautions to avoid risking the health of the 32-year-old player. The club has decided not to allow him to play twice a week to enable his full recovery.

As a reminder, in the first match, the team led by Arbeloa defeated Benfica 1-0 in Lisbon.
