Light at the end of the tunnel! Rodrygo takes major step in Real Madrid injury recovery as Brazilian touches ball for first time in six months

Now that the ball is back at his feet, Rodrygo is entering the final phase of a recovery process that the club expects to conclude between December and January. Brazil head coach Carlo Ancelotti is monitoring his progress closely, having visited Valdebebas last month to check on the forward’s condition, fully aware that Rodrygo remains a vital part of his plans for the national team.

Rodrygo joined Real Madrid in 2019 from Brazilian outfit Santos and has since gone on to establish himself as a pivotal figure at the Santiago Bernabeu. The forward has made 297 appearances for Los Blancos in all competitions, scoring 71 goals and lifting a wealth of silverware, most notably three La Liga titles and two Champions League trophies.
