Real Madrid has confirmed that forward Rodrygo underwent a successful surgical procedure on his right knee. The operation addressed ruptures of the anterior cruciate ligament and the external meniscus, injuries sustained during a recent training session.
The medical team overseeing the procedure has reported that the operation went as planned, and the player has already begun his rehabilitation.
The recovery process has officially started, with the club’s medical staff closely monitoring his initial progress. Such complex injuries typically require a significant and careful rehabilitation period to ensure a full recovery. The focus for both the player and the medical team will now be on a steady and structured return to fitness, prioritizing long-term stability over speed.
According to reports from journalist Fabrizio Romano, Rodrygo is hopeful of being ready to return to competitive action at the beginning of the calendar year 2027. This timeline suggests the Brazilian international is expected to miss the remainder of the current season and the start of the next campaign.
