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.
