A significant new injury could hit Real Madrid. This is a huge blow for coach Alvaro Arbeloa, who is already dealing with the absences of Jude Bellingham and Kylian Mbappé.
A fresh setback threatens the Real Madrid squad. According to reports from Spanish radio Cadena COPE and various media outlets, Rodrygo is suffering from a concerning knee injury after his return in the Madrid defeat against Getafe CF.
Journalist Miguel Ángel Díaz reported that the Merengues are currently conducting thorough medical examinations to assess the severity of the injury. The Brazilian forward, who recently returned to competition, reportedly felt sharp pain in his knee, raising fears of a serious injury that could lead to a long absence.
Rodrygo injured?
A significant knee injury is suspected for Rodrygo. The Madrid forward had already missed several weeks due to a hamstring injury, and his return was seen as a relief for Real Madrid, already facing multiple absences. A potential relapse would be another tough blow for coach Alvaro Arbeloa, who must navigate a busy schedule and the unavailability of key players like Kylian Mbappé and Jude Bellingham.
This situation comes at a complicated time for the Madrid club, marked by several injuries to important players since the start of the season. These physical issues have weakened the team’s performances across multiple competitions, especially after two consecutive defeats in the Champions League. If medical examinations confirm the severity of the injury, Rodrygo could be sidelined for an extended period.
For now, the club has not released any official statement regarding the exact extent of the injury or the duration of the absence. However, the initial reports are concerning and could keep the Brazilian forward out of upcoming major matches, including the clash against Manchester City FC in the Champions League Round of 16.
