This means that Rodrygo will not be available when Real Madrid face Atletico de Madrid in Saturday’s Madrid Derby. The attacker will also have to miss next week’s match against Barcelona in the first leg of the Copa del Rey Semifinals.

Real Madrid were hoping to receive better news about Rodrygo’s injury, even if his presence in Saturday’s Derby was always going to be in doubt. However, the player himself appear to believe that he would be ready to face Barcelona, so this is bad news for Real Madrid.
