Real Madrid have officially announced that Rodrygo Goes has successfully undergone surgery after suffering an ACL injury with meniscus damage.
“Our player Rodrygo has undergone successful surgery to repair the anterior cruciate ligament and lateral meniscus tears in his right knee,” the club statement read.
“The operation was performed by Dr. Manuel Leyes under the supervision of the Real Madrid Medical Services. Rodrygo will begin his rehabilitation in the coming days.”

Rodrygo suffered the injury during Real Madrid’s La Liga game against Getafe last week on the night of his return after a month out from a previous injury.
Moments after coming onto the pitch as a substitute, the Brazilian international went down clutching his knee in pain. But after medical examinations, he was allowed to continue playing for close to 30 minutes until the full-time whistle.
Soon after an ACL rupture was confirmed along with damage to the lateral meniscus, with Rodrygo now undergoing surgery to repair it earlier today.
A long recovery road lies ahead for the Brazilian international who is very unlikely to play again in 2026 and is expected to be out for close to a year .
