Real Madrid’s crisis deepens with Rodrygo sidelined. After their defeat against Getafe, the Merengues are now facing a major blow: the Brazilian winger reportedly suffered a serious knee injury, potentially ruling him out for the rest of the season and jeopardizing his participation in the 2026 World Cup.
Alvaro Arbeloa’s squad is already depleted, with suspensions and injuries affecting key players like Kylian Mbappé, Jude Bellingham, and Eder Militao, leaving the team dangerously short of options for the upcoming clash with Celta Vigo.
Marca and El Chiringuito report that Rodrygo felt discomfort in his right knee during the match and medical tests suggest a possible cruciate ligament rupture. His absence adds to a growing list of unavailable players, including Dean Huijsen, Alvaro Carreras, and Franco Mastontuono.
With only Vinicius and Gonzalo Garcia fit as forwards, Real Madrid will have to improvise to secure crucial points, as another defeat could widen the gap with FC Barcelona at the top of La Liga.
