The verdict came in yesterday: Rodrygo is ruled out for the rest of the season with Real Madrid. He will also miss the 2026 World Cup. And now, a shocking revelation has surfaced!

Having suffered a rupture of the anterior cruciate ligament in his right knee, Rodrygo will not play again this season for Real Madrid. The Brazilian will also not take part in the 2026 World Cup with Brazil.

According to information from The Athletic, Rodrygo had been carrying a partial tear of the same ligament since 2023. Following a thorough medical examination, the Madrid forward chose not to undergo surgery, instead opting for a more conservative treatment approach.

While the course of treatment he followed was deemed appropriate, as sources close to the player confirmed to The Athletic, there was still a risk of more serious complications.
