Real Madrid striker Rodrigo will continue his recovery after an important knee injury and may return to play before the end of 2026.

According to journalist Matteo Moretto, the optimistic target for the 25-year-old Brazilian is the chest.

Rodrigo suffered a torn anterior cruciform ligament on 2 February during the La Liga match against Getafe. Just days later, the footballer underwent surgery, as confirmed by physician Manuel Lees.

It was announced that the renewal could last until the beginning of 2027. However, the rehabilitation was progressing more successfully, and Rodrigo had already earned an important mark on the road before turning back..

Recently, the Brazilian completed individual training on the football field in six months. The patient is gradually gaining physical condition, working under the close supervision of the medical staff.

Despite the positive dynamics, Real Madrid head coach Jose Mourinho and club doctors do not plan to force renewal. The Madrid club wants to completely eliminate the risk of re-injury and guarantee that Rodrigo will return to full strength.
