Ruzika's Son Faced Adductor Tear
In 2017, Ruzika's son Mateo played for Real Madrid.
He was the first player to replace Toni Kroos or Luka Modric from the bench.
In the next match against APOEL as well, he replaced Toni Kroos.
He played well, but just after 25 minutes, he was sent off because of his injury.
Although the team won the match, the injury was bad news for both players and the team. He had a partial adductor tear.
The team lacked players as many of them were not available. Being one of the talented players, his injury was the worst thing.
He was given medical treatment, and he couldn't come back until two months of recovery.
Mateo Was Tested Covid Positive
Mateo is a brilliant midfielder for the blue team Chelsea.
But after the international break, the midfielder couldn't join the training and games.
It is because he was tested positive for the Covid-19.
Covid is not something to take lightly; hence the player was out for December and January.
His health was a priority; therefore, he was not seen in training and matches.
Mateo Injured Due To His Coach
Mateo is undoubtedly a brilliant midfielder.
Being such an important player, Chelsea's coach Tuchek wanted him to be in his best form.
Hence he made him train harshly for him to undergo any challenges.
But the training seems too much for the player as he suffered from a hamstring injury at the last minutes of exercise.
After the international break, Coach hoped that he would be fine and took full responsibility for the midfielder's injury.
