Ryudiger plays in the starting lineup against Benfica

Madrid's "Real" team plans to return central defender Antonio Rüdiger to the starting lineup in the Champions League return match against "Benfica." This was reported by Zamin.uz.

This was reported by euro-football.ru. The "Royal Club" will host the second match of the competition's playoff stage at their home ground.

The match is expected to take place on Wednesday. According to Gazeta.Ru citing Diario AS sources, the coaching staff led by Álvaro Arbeloa aims to include Rüdiger, who remained on the bench in the La Liga match against "Osasuna" (1:2), in the starting lineup this time.

Additionally, "Real" has decided not to jeopardize the health of the 32-year-old defender. It has been determined that he will not participate in games more than twice a week until he fully recovers.

This decision was made to ensure the player can perform effectively over a long period in good health. It is worth recalling that "Real" defeated "Benfica" 1-0 in the first match in Lisbon.

As a result of the match, the "Royal Club" is preparing intensively for the return game.
