Real Madrid players showed solidarity with their injured teammate Rodrygo Goes by wearing special shirts before their match against Celta in the Spanish league. The club's medical department confirmed that the 25-year-old forward suffered a torn anterior cruciate ligament and meniscus in his right knee, which will sideline him for the remainder of the season and potentially the World Cup. Rodrygo expressed his disappointment on social media, calling it one of the worst days of his life, while coach Álvaro Arbeloa faces significant tactical challenges with the team's attacking lineup, especially with Kylian Mbappé also unavailable.
"Real Madrid" players showed solidarity with their teammate Rodrygo Goes, who suffered a serious injury, ahead of their Spanish championship match against Celta Vigo. The players entered the pitch wearing special T-shirts to support the Brazilian forward. Goal.com reports this.
The club's medical department confirmed that the 25-year-old forward suffered a ruptured anterior cruciate ligament and a torn lateral meniscus in his right leg. This diagnosis means the player's season has ended for both club and national team.
Rodrygo was injured on March 2, just 11 minutes after coming on as a substitute in the match against "Getafe". The recovery process is expected to take between seven and nine months, which will also cause him to miss the World Cup.
“One of the worst days of my life, I have always feared this injury. It is very difficult that I will not be able to participate in the rest of the season and the World Cup, but I must be strong,” the player wrote on social media.
The forward's absence poses a serious tactical problem for coach Alvaro Arbeloa. With Kilian Mbappe also currently unable to help, "Real Madrid" attacking line faces a serious test at a decisive stage of the season.
