Follow usReal Madrid sustained a catastrophic tactical setback after the Brazilian star Rodrygo Goes was diagnosed with a severe anterior cruciate ligament tear.
The sad news means that we will not see Rodrygo on the pitch again this season, and he will also be out of the World Cup in the summer.
The worst possible scenario has been confirmed for Los Blancos and Selecao. Rodrygo sustained an ACL injury in his right knee in the match against Getafe yesterday.
The incident happened just 11 minutes after the Brazilian entered from the bench vs. Getafe. Rodrygo finished the match despite visible signs of pain, and today it became clear how severe his injury was.
The Brazilian forward had only just returned to action after being out for almost a month due to a persistent bout of tendonitis. The injury means that Real Madrid could count only on Vini Jr and young Gonzalo in attack right now. Kylian Mbappe is out with an injury, while Mastantuono will be out for a few games after receiving a red card.
Rodrygo will also be out of Carlo Ancelotti’s squad for the upcoming World Cup.
Real Madrid and Brazil forward Rodrygo has torn his ACL and will miss the World Cup, according to multiple reports.
