Very bad news for Zidane and a hard setback for Rodrygo. The Brazilian, who had to retire in the 35th minute of the match against Granada, suffers a muscle injury affecting the tendon in the right biceps femoris, according to Real Madrid in a medical report posted on its website. As usual, it does not specify the player's low time, although As he learned, AS will be off the pitch for three months. Even the knockout round of the Champions League against Atalanta will be lost.
The play in which Rodrygo broke was born on the right wing. The former Santos player entered the area fighting with Foulquier for the ball, he fell to the ground but Martínez Munuera did not signal anything (the push was outside the area). As soon as he fell on the grass, Rodrygo felt a puncture and immediately asked for the change. His teammates also realized the importance of the injury. The player, with obvious gestures of pain, spent a couple of minutes on the pitch being treated by the toilets, who immobilized him on a stretcher and took him to the locker room. During the journey, the madridista could be seen with his hands on his face, crying.
This injury comes to Rodrygo at the worst moment. The young Madrid footballer had won a space in Zidane's eleven thanks to good performances. Against Granada he was being one of the most active, but in a sprint in 35 'he broke and his gestures indicated that it was a major muscle tear. As it has been.
