Following the unfortunate news of his injury, Rodrygo took to social media to address the setback. He will miss the rest of the season with Real Madrid as well as the 2026 World Cup with Brazil, events that, according to his statement, have left him feeling devastated.
“One of the worst days of my life, how much I always feared this injury… maybe life has been a little cruel to me lately… I don’t know if I deserve this, but what can I complain about? How many wonderful things I’ve already experienced, which I also didn’t deserve. A great obstacle has arisen in my life, in my career, and it prevents me from doing what I love most for a while,” Rodrygo stated on his Instagram account.
Rodrygo expressed gratitude for the overwhelming messages of support he received following news of his injury. “Thank you, everyone, for the prayers, messages, and affection! Your support means the world to me,” he shared in a statement on social media.
This setback follows a challenging match in which Real Madrid suffered a 1-0 defeat to Getafe in LaLiga at the Santiago Bernabeu Stadium. Rodrygo entered the game in its latter stages and had a couple of clear scoring opportunities, but was thwarted by the goalkeeper and defense.
