Overview
- Club tests identified a ruptured right ACL and external meniscus for Rodrygo, an injury that will require surgery and months of rehabilitation.
- Rodrygo was hurt against Getafe when his right knee caught in the turf; he completed the match before scans the next day confirmed the severity.
- He will miss the remainder of the season and Brazil’s World Cup campaign, with recovery commonly estimated at roughly six to nine months in similar cases.
- Brazil’s federation publicly expressed support for the forward following Real Madrid’s medical communiqué confirming the diagnosis.
- Separately, Mbappé traveled to Paris for assessments that found a left-knee sprain treatable without surgery, leaving his return timeframe unclear and casting doubt on his availability for France’s U.S. friendlies as Madrid navigates key fixtures, including Manchester City in the Champions League.
