Spanish major newspaper: Real Madrid star misses football World Cup
Rodrygo from Real Madrid will miss the rest of the season due to an ACL injury sustained during a match against Getafe.
According to Marca, Brazilian forward Rodrygo is set to miss the remainder of the season after suffering a serious ACL injury during Real Madrid's game against Getafe. He was substituted in during the 54th minute of the match but encountered knee problems shortly after entering the pitch. The incident occurred when he fell awkwardly off the sideline, resulting in his knee getting caught in an unfortunate position.
Despite completing the match, it was evident that Rodrygo was in pain, prompting Real Madrid's medical staff to conduct examinations following the game. Further tests on Monday are reported to have confirmed the club's fears regarding the severity of the injury, which will keep him sidelined for an extended period. This injury is particularly problematic for Real Madrid, who are already dealing with several other absences.
The timing of this injury could not be worse for Real Madrid as they face a challenging season ahead. Star player Kylian Mbappé is also dealing with injury issues, and Franco Mastantuono is currently suspended due to a red card. With key players unavailable, the team's ability to compete at high levels could be significantly jeopardized as decisions around squad depth and tactics come into play.
