Real Madrid forward Rodrygo has sustained a complete rupture of the anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) in his right knee. This severe injury not only brings his current season with the Spanish giants to an abrupt end but also dashes his hopes of representing Brazil in the upcoming World Cup.
A troubling detail has emerged: it is understood that Rodrygo had reportedly been playing with a partial rupture of the very same ligament since 2023. Despite this pre-existing condition, the player reportedly continued to participate in matches without undergoing the necessary surgical intervention, leading to speculation about the potential inevitability of this latest, more severe setback.
