Rüdiger has already left the national team's training camp in Leipzig and is reportedly on his way back to Madrid to join the rest of the squad.
Not sure about the German fans, but this is great news for all the madridistas, considering the high injury rate of players on international duty.
Besides, the game against the English is no longer decisive. Hungary, to everyone's surprise, take the top spot in Group 3 of the Nations League, making it to the play-offs while the Euro 2020 finalists drop to League B.
