This comes after he sustained a hamstring injury during the club's recent thrilling 5-2 comeback against Borussia Dortmund in the Champions League on Tuesday night. Rodrygo, who had been pivotal in the match, experienced a sharp pain in his right thigh in the 85th minute while setting up a crucial play that resulted in Lucas Vázquez's goal.
The injury was later confirmed by Real Madrid’s manager Carlo Ancelotti. "He has a muscle injury. He had a spectacular run when the third goal was scored. It's a shame, but it is what it is," Ancelotti stated, underlining the unfortunate timing of the injury. Rodrygo’s absence will undoubtedly be felt in the highly anticipated clash against Barcelona.
Rodrygo's injury deals a significant blow to Real Madrid. This season, the 23-year-old has been a key player, contributing three goals and two assists in 13 matches. Ancelotti now faces the daunting task of rethinking his tactics for El Clásico, as he will be without one of his most dynamic forwards.
The club's medical team is set to conduct further tests to determine the full extent of the injury, with an MRI scan scheduled for Thursday. In the meantime, Real Madrid's fans and coaching staff are left to ponder how the team will adapt to Rodrygo's absence in what promises to be one of the most thrilling matches of the season.
