Rodrygo’s knee injury revealed to have existed since 2023
Rodrygo, the forward for Real Madrid and the Brazilian national team, suffered a severe knee injury during a match against Getafe, which has ended his season. Medical examinations confirmed that the 25-year-old has torn ligaments and a lateral meniscus in his right knee, an issue he has been managing since 2023. Despite opting for conservative treatment at that time, the injury worsened, leading him to describe this day as one of the worst in his life. This marks the fifth serious injury for Real Madrid players since the summer of 2023, and Rodrygo may now miss at least 12 months, potentially sidelining him from the 2026 World Cup.
Real Madrid and Brazil national team forward Rodrygo has seen his season come to an end after suffering a serious knee injury in a match against Getafe. Medical examinations confirmed that the 25-year-old player sustained a rupture of the anterior cruciate ligaments and lateral meniscus in his right knee. Goal.com reports on this.
It has emerged that the Brazilian footballer had been playing with a partial tear in his knee since 2023. At that time, club doctors opted against surgery, choosing a conservative treatment method instead.
Unfortunately, the forward's knee could not withstand the load in the latest match after returning to the field following an injury in early February.
Rodrygo shared his emotions on social media, calling it one of the worst days of his life. The player emphasized that he had always feared this injury and described the current situation as cruel.
Nevertheless, his representatives believe that the initially chosen treatment strategy was correct.
This marks the fifth such serious injury at Real Madrid since the summer of 2023. Previously, Courtois, Alaba, Carvajal, and Militao faced similar issues.
Rodrygo will now be sidelined for at least 12 months and may miss the 2026 World Cup to be held in the USA, Canada, and Mexico.
