Rodrigo will return to the field no earlier than 2027 — AS

Real Madrid winger Rodrigo continues his recovery from a serious knee injury and is unlikely to return to action until early 2027. This is reported by AS. According to the source, the 25-year-old Brazilian suffered a rupture of the anterior cruciate ligament and damage to the external meniscus in a La Liga match against Getafe in March 2026. Due to this injury, the football player ended the season early and lost the opportunity to play at the 2026 World Cup. After a successful operation, the medical staff of Real Madrid determined a long recovery period for the player - from 10 to 12 months. Thus, Rodrigo is guaranteed to miss the entire first half of the 2026/27 season, which will be his debut for the team under the leadership of Jose Mourinho. The Brazilian is expected to be able to return to training with the team at the beginning of 2027. He is currently undergoing rehabilitation at the Madrid club base under the supervision of the medical staff.
