Real Madrid and Brazil national team forward Rodrigo Goes has been sidelined for a long time due to a serious knee injury. The Royal Club has officially announced that the 25-year-old footballer has a torn anterior cruciate ligament and external meniscus on his right leg. This means he will completely lose the rest of the season.
According to Reuters, Rodrigo will miss not only the club season but also the 2026 World Cup. This is also a serious loss for the Brazilian national team, as it was considered one of the key figures on the eve of the World Cup.
The reported 10-month recovery period appears not in the club's official statement, but as an assessment by journalist Arancha Rodriguez and several sports sources. That is, for now, the exact diagnosis has been officially confirmed, and recovery in about 10 months is mentioned as the expected period.
The injury occurred during the 26th round match of La Liga against Getafe. According to Reuters, Rodrigo came off the bench around the 54th-55th minute, and the injury occurred later during the game. Worst of all, despite the pain, he continued the argument until the end, but further investigations showed that the problem was much more serious than it had been conceived.
In short, this isn't just a player loss for Real Madrid. This means losing a key figure in the attacking line, spending the decisive part of the season without him, and a significant loss for the Brazilian national team. Rodrigo's return to the field will take a long time, and now everyone is hoping he will be able to return stronger.
