Real Madrid’s star Brazilian forward, Rodrygo, has resumed training after being sidelined with a left leg muscle strain. This comes as a much-needed boost for Los Blancos, who are navigating a challenging season.
Rodrygo was injured during Madrid’s 4-0 LaLiga victory over Osasuna on November 9, where he was forced off within the first 20 minutes. Initially projected to be out for 5-6 weeks, his earlier-than-expected return is promising news for Carlo Ancelotti’s side.
Real Madrid’s struggles have been compounded by their recent 2-0 loss to Liverpool in the UEFA Champions League. The defeat highlighted the team’s current vulnerabilities, and VinÃcius Jr. unavailable due to injuries. was meant to elevate the team’s standards this season, but his underwhelming performance against Liverpool has only intensified scrutiny.
Despite these setbacks, Real Madrid remains competitive. They sit second in LaLiga with 29 points, just one behind arch-rivals FC Barcelona. However, their attack felt incomplete in the absence of Rodrygo and VinÃcius. Rodrygo’s return could restore balance to the frontline, addressing recent offensive shortcomings.
Carlo Ancelotti remains optimistic about his team’s prospects, reiterating his belief that Madrid can reach the Champions League final and reclaim the LaLiga title. However, a collective improvement is necessary to turn things around, including defensive resilience and midfield consistency.
As Rodrygo gradually returns to match fitness, his presence could inject energy and creativity back into Madrid’s attack. With crucial fixtures ahead, his comeback offers a glimmer of hope for Los Blancos fans eager for a strong finish to the season.
