At the Bernabeu, Rodrygo was forced to leave the field to make way for Aurelien Tchouameni in the 85th minute. The Brazilian striker applied ice and appeared uncomfortable. Rodrygo is said to have torn the hamstring in his right thigh so he could not complete the match.
Before leaving the field, Rodrygo assisted Lucas Vazquez to score the third goal for “Los Blancos”, thereby helping the Spanish team take a 3-2 lead, after conceding consecutive goals. 2 goals in the first half.
After medical tests, Real Madrid confirmed that the cyclone born in 2001 suffered a serious injury. Therefore, Rodrygo could not recover in time to attend the match against Barcelona in round 11 of La Liga, which took place on October 27 (Hanoi time).
Losing Rodrygo is no small defeat for Real Madrid. Although the opportunity to play is limited after Kylian Mbappé appeared in attack, the Brazilian can still regain his mark with 3 goals and 2 more assists created in the 2024/2024 season. 25.
There is a high possibility that coach Carlo Ancelotti will return to the 4-4-2 or 4-2-3-1 formation when Rodrygo cannot play. In fact, Real Madrid often uses a 4-man midfield this season, and a striker has to be removed from the starting lineup. And currently, that person is Rodrygo.
But clearly when a difference is needed, coach Ancelotti often relies on Rodrygo. Without Rodrygo, Real Madrid lost a dangerous shot in the competition with Barcelona. Currently, “Los Blancos” is 3 points closer to home field Camp Nou on the La Liga rankings.
