Official: Real Madrid confirm hamstring injury to forward; ten days out

In a concerning update, Real Madrid have officially announced that forward Rodrygo Goes has been sidelined with a hamstring issue.

“Following tests carried out today on our player Rodrygo by the Real Madrid Medical Services, he has been diagnosed with tendinosis in the hamstring of his right leg. His recovery will be monitored,” the club statement read.

The 25-year-old attacker had not trained with the rest of the group on Thursday or today, instead opting to work inside the facilities.

It had given way to doubts over his availability for Sunday’s La Liga clash against Valencia at Mestalla, where he was primed to start as Vinicius Jr. was ruled out through suspension.

Now, though, Rodrygo will miss the game against Valencia. Not only that, but his availability for the subsequent La Liga fixture against Real Sociedad next week could also be in doubt.

After all, journalist Arancha Rodriguez reports that the former Santos prodigy is expected to be out for a period of ten days.

Rodrygo has barely featured prominently under new manager Alvaro Arbeloa, having missed his first three matches in charge due to muscle issue.

Since returning, he did not get any minutes against Villarreal and played less than 50 minutes across two games against Benfica and Rayo Vallecano. Now, he is set to face more time out on the sidelines.
