Antonio Rudiger Injury: Returns to training Friday

Rudiger (knee) returned to training Friday and could be an option for Sunday's game against Rayo Vallecano, according to Juan Ignacio Garcia of MARCA.

Rudiger missed Wednesday's loss against Benfica in the UEFA Champions League, but his return to training suggests the center-back could be an option over the weekend. Rudiger hasn't played in LaLiga since the 5-1 win over Real Betis on Jan. 4. but if healthy, he should be an option to start right away.
