Rodrygo - Soccer News, Rumors, & Updates

Passes halfway point in recovery Rodrygo (knee) has completed five months of recovery from his torn ACL, roughly the halfway point of a process the club estimates will take at least ten months, according to AS.

Impact Rodrygo tore the ACL and lateral meniscus in his right knee on March 3 and was operated on by Dr. Manuel Leyes, and his rehabilitation has since progressed from simply passing the time to a structured routine of hydrotherapy, anti-gravity treadmill running, plyometric work and weight training under the supervision of Real Madrid physio Davide Violati. His return is being targeted for January 2027, and the club has described the early pace of his recovery as very encouraging.

Working hard in gym during rehab Rodrygo (knee) was spotted working hard in the gym during his rehabilitation on Friday, the player posted on X.

Impact Rodrygo made just 19 La Liga appearances last season, tallying one goal and three assists across 676 minutes before tearing his ACL, a major setback that required surgery and is expected to keep him sidelined until 2027. Newcomer Carlos Espi is expected to soak up the majority of his minutes under new coach Jose Mourinho while the Brazilian works his way back, with Rodrygo not expected to return until the second half of the 2026/27 season.

Undergoes successful surgery Rodrygo has been successfully operated following his ACL injury and will now begin his rehabilitation work that should keep him sidelined until 2027, the club announced.

Impact Rodrygo tore his ACL last week and has since gone under the knife, with surgeon Manuel Leyes successfully performing the operation in recent days. The Brazilian winger now shifts his focus to the long road back, beginning a rehab process that is expected to keep him on the sidelines until 2027, given the typical nine-month recovery window for this type of injury. In the meantime, Vinicius Junior is set to carry a heavier share of the attacking load with both Kylian Mbappe (knee) and Rodrygo out. Franco Mastantuono, Brahim Diaz and especially Gonzalo Garcia are expected to be the likely option to step into the front line alongside the number seven until the injured stars make their return.

MARCH 3 • MANAGINGMADRID.COM

Torn ACL, out for 2026 Rodrygo is out for the remainder of the year due to a torn ACL, according to his club.

Impact Rodrygo has missed a handful of games this season through injury and suspension and will now miss even further time with a brutal update, as the winger has suffered a torn ACL. Unfortunately, the attacker is now set to miss out on all of 2026, likely planning a return after the winter break next campaign, a long road of recovery ahead. In the short-term, the club will not have to do without Kylian Mbappe and Rodrygo, losing two major attackers and leaving most of the work to Vinicius Junior. However, long-term, the club will have to replace Rodrygo's time elsewhere, even though he hasn't been a regular starter, with Franco Mastantuono, Brahim Diaz and especially Gonzalo Garcia set to earn more time. Rodrygo will now focus on his recovery, with more likely to come on an operation in the next week or two.

Impact Rodrygo returned from a hamstring injury that had sidelined him for a month but now looks headed for another stint out after dealing with knee problems that required evaluation Tuesday morning. The Brazilian will be monitored over the next few days to determine how he responds to the new issue, and it is a tough blow for Madrid with their main forward Kylian Mbappe (knee) already sidelined for the same issue as well. Gonzalo Garcia is now in line for an expanded role moving forward until both attackers are back to full speed.
