More injury woes for Real Madrid as forward’s season is over
According to a new report from Radioestadio, Rodrygo’s 2024/25 season with Real Madrid has come to an end, after the Brazilian forward walked off the training pitch accompanied by a club medic.
The forward, who has barely featured in recent weeks, is now set to miss the upcoming clash against Mallorca and will also be unavailable for the remaining La Liga fixtures.
The report adds more detail to what had been an increasingly tense and confusing situation surrounding Rodrygo. In the final minutes of the training session, the 24-year-old walked off with a serious expression, eyes cast downward, and did not return.
This follows a prolonged absence from match action, as Rodrygo has not set foot on the pitch for 255 minutes, dating back to his last appearance in the Copa del Rey Clasico.
Plenty of noise around Rodrygo
As it turns out, Rodrygo was left out of key fixtures against Celta Vigo and Barcelona, with head coach Carlo Ancelotti citing physical discomfort, including a fever that was supposedly resolved.

However, Rodrygo did not even warm up in those matches, prompting speculation from the media. Some outlets even suggested that the Brazilian had no desire to play under the current coaching staff, hinting at a deeper fallout within the dressing room.
While new reports now confirms that his issue appears to be genuinely physical, the lack of clarity and communication from the club has only added fuel to growing rumours of discontent and a possible exit in the summer.
It is worth noting that Rodrygo has struggled for prominence in recent weeks. Now, with Ancelotti set to depart and Xabi Alonso likely to take over at the Bernabeu, the forward’s future remains highly uncertain.
Rodrygo, once viewed as a central piece of Real Madrid’s long-term project, now appears to be sliding out of the picture altogether.
Whether this injury is a temporary setback or a symbolic end to his Madrid chapter, the next few weeks will be crucial in defining his trajectory. For now, though, his season is over, and so might be his time in white.
In what will come as a pleasing development for fans, Fabrizio Romano reports that Real Madrid forward Rodrygo could make a comeback from his injury earlier than expected.
The 25-year-old Brazilian international has been out of action since March after suffering an ACL injury during a La Liga game against Getafe.
Due to the complete rupture of the ACL, coupled with associated meniscus damage, it was suggested that the attacker was staring at a lengthy time out on the sidelines and might not return until 2027.
In fact, the forward’s father, Eric Goes, recently stated in an interview that the Real Madrid ace could be back in February next year, just before the business end of the campaign.
Rodrygo could be back in December
However, as per the update from Romano, Rodrygo’s comeback could happen well before that expected date.
Indeed, if things continue to progress at the current rate, the 25-year-old attacker might return to action in December or by January 2027 at the latest.
This will come as a welcome boost for Jose Mourinho & co., considering that Rodrygo is a valuable player for the team.
Even though he had endured a tough spell prior to his form, the Brazilian’s versatility, work rate off the ball, and eye for a goal make him an asset.
Rodrygo eager to be back at his best
The update from Romano further states that Rodrygo feels very grateful to Real Madrid for all the help and support they have given him during this difficult phase of his career.
As such, the Brazilian international has made it a mission to return to action in the best shape possible and make an impact from the get-go.
The attacker has only recently begun working on the pitch with the ball indicating the significant progress he has made on the road to recovery.
And, if there are no setbacks, Real Madrid could recover one of their ace attackers before the end of the current year.
So far in his career, Rodrygo has made 297 appearances for Real Madrid, scoring 71 goals. He has a contract with the club until 2028.
