🚨 Confirmed by Madrid: Rodrygo suffers cruciate ligament injury

Real Madrid received on Tuesday the news that Álvaro Arbeloa’s coaching staff feared the most.

After the medical tests carried out on Tuesday, it has been confirmed that Rodrygo Goes has suffered a tear of the anterior cruciate ligament in his right knee.

This diagnosis is a devastating blow for the Brazilian forward, who will be forced to undergo surgery in the coming days.

The injury occurred during the last league match against Getafe. Although it was initially hoped that it might be a severe sprain, the official medical report issued by the club leaves no room for doubt.

Out for Madrid... and for the World Cup

The estimated recovery time ranges from seven to nine months, which means he will miss the remainder of the season, including the World Cup. Carlo Ancelotti will not be able to count on him for the next World Cup.

This is also a significant loss for the Brazilian national team.
