According to recent reports from The Athletic FC and Spanish radio station Onda Cero, the German international was involved in a significant locker room altercation with a teammate.\u00a0<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3>What Happened?<\/h3>\n<p>The tension reportedly boiled over during a <b>private session<\/b>, with sources indicating that R\u00fcdiger was the one who initiated the confrontation. While the club initially attempted to keep the matter quiet, details surfaced suggesting the argument escalated quickly.\u00a0<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>Reports from Onda Cero even claimed the incident involved young defender <b>\u00c1lvaro Carreras<\/b>, following previous on-field tensions during matches against Bayern Munich and Real Mallorca.
