It has been a month since Real Madrid superstar Rodrygo picked up an injury that will go on not only derail his season with Los Blancos but also rule him out of the World Cup.
It was a devastating knock for the Brazilian international, who was supposed to play a key role for his country this summer. But instead, he has now been ruled out for about a year.
A month into his injury, Rodrygo has shared some important updates surrounding his recovery process, confirming that things are heading in the right direction.
Rodrygo has posted a photo on Instagram showcasing his recovery after picking up a long-term injury last month. His caption read, “The process is part of the success. Month 1 complete. Battle, strength, and evolution… “
Among these photos was a picture of a personal diary, which offered a glimpse into the gruelling reality of his recovery.
Rodrygo described “pure suffering” and even “fainting” from the intensity of the pain. However, by the fifth day of his post-operative journey, he noted a “very good night” and reported experiencing only “mild pain during the day.”
This is a good sign for the Brazilian international as he continues to improve the sensations around his body and get the right treatment.
Although he will not be present for the World Cup, the forward has received a lot of support from everyone involved, including Carlo Ancelotti, who has given his blessing for Rodrygo to be included in future World Cups.
Real Madrid, too, would want the Brazilian to return as soon as possible, as he could play a critical role in the season ahead, especially if the club decide to bring in a new manager in the coming summer.
