USMNT bounce back from 5-1 loss to Colombia with 1-1 draw with shaky Brazil

Future role unclear Rodrygo recorded 28 stats in 34 appearances in La Liga during the 2023/24 season with Los Blancos.

Impact Rodrygo was expected to replace Karim Benzema this season following his departure in the offseason. Although he did not meet expectations, he did contribute important goals at critical times. In league play, he scored 10 goals with 5 assists. In 13 UCL games, he scored 5 goals with 2 assists. With Kylian Mbappe joining the club, Rodrygo's role is uncertain, especially after signing a long-term contract with Real Madrid last year.

The forward is mostly known for his decisive UCL goals but also had nice performances throughout his La Liga campaign, with 10 goals, five assists, 87 shots, 46 chances created and 46 fouls drawn over 34 appearances (28 starts).

Set for return Tuesday Rodrygo is no longer ill and is set to be an option to face Bayern Munich on Tuesday after making the team sheet.

Impact Rodrygo was held out from Friday's contest after picking up an illness midweek but is now set to return for the all-important first leg of their UCL semifinal. This is huge for the club, as he is a regular starter, notching five goals and two assists in his 10 UCL appearances this season. With that being said, he should be expected to start Tuesday after reaching full fitness.

Won't play Friday Rodrygo (illness) is not in the squad list to face Real Sociedad on Friday.

Impact Rodrygo is dealing with flu-like symptoms, but unlike Jude Bellingham (illness), who managed to recover quickly, Rodrygo will be held out altogether from Friday's game in order to have him 100 ready for the Bayern Munich clash next Tuesday. Brahim Diaz and Joselu are expected to see more minutes with Rodrygo sidelined.

Impact Rodrygo could miss out on Friday's contest, as he is now dealing with an illness with only one day to recover ahead of the game. He will likely face a fitness test ahead of the match to determine his status, hoping to have recovered and be an option, as he is a regular starter who has started in 35 of his 41 appearances this campaign. However, if he is absent from the team sheet, expect Brahim Diaz or Joselu to start in his place.

However, he was slightly quiet outside of his goal due to Madrid's defensive setup the rest of the match, only notching three shots, two tackles won and a clearance.

Nets another goal against City Rodrygo scored one goal to go with three shots (two on goal) and two chances created in Tuesday's 3-3 draw against Manchester City.

Impact Rodrygo continues to be a thorn in Manchester City's side, as after scoring two goals in the 2021/22 UCL semifinals second leg that saw Madrid pull an unbelievable comeback to send City home, he has now put on another great performance against the Cityzens, scoring a goal in the 14th minute to give Real an early 2-1 lead. This gave the attacker his fourth goal in the UCL this season, now having six goal contributions. Although he only registered two shots and one chance created outside of his goal, he should still be a player to keep an eye on in the second leg, as he is always a dangerous threat just one move away from a goal contribution when facing City.
