Real Madrid: Rüdiger suffers injury in loss to Espanyol, who needs to step up defensively? (Soccer 02/03)

Real Madrid suffered a shocking 1-0 loss to Espanyol and the defeat was compounded by an injury to one of their most important players. Antonio Rüdiger set for a spell on the sidelines after suffering a hamstring injury just 15 minutes into the match. The German international is expected to miss at least 3 weeks or more which means he could miss the first leg of Real Madrid's Champions League knockout round series against Manchester City. With Madrid already thin on defense, the group discuss who can step up in Rüdiger's absence.
