Real Madrid forward confident about returning from injury for Getafe clash | OneFootball

Real Madrid could receive a timely attacking boost as Rodrygo edges closer to full fitness.

According to journalist Guillermo Rai in The Athletic, sources close to the Brazilian forward are confident he will be ready to feature against Getafe next week. 

The report adds that optimism is shared both within the club and in the player’s camp.

Rodrygo has recently resumed partial training with the group after being sidelined due to tendonitis in his right calf. 

Earlier this month, Real Madrid confirmed that he was dealing with a hamstring-related issue, which forced him out of competitive action. Since then, his recovery has progressed steadily.

A crucial comeback

In recent days, the 25-year-old has taken visible steps forward. The club confirmed that he had returned to training, and it was later reported that he completed part of a session with the first team. 

Rodrygo himself even shared an image of him running during training, a positive sign that he is regaining rhythm and confidence.

The timing of his comeback is crucial.

Real Madrid are set to go through a demanding stretch of fixtures, including their UEFA Champions League commitments against Benfica. 

However, sources suggest that the upcoming European clash may arrive slightly too soon for Rodrygo to be fully involved.

Instead, the focus is on La Liga. The expectation is that he could return when Madrid host Getafe at the Santiago Bernabéu on Monday, March 2. 

Internally, there is a belief that he will be fit and ready for that match, provided no setbacks occur in the coming days.

His return would offer a significant lift to Madrid’s attacking structure. In tight league games, especially against well-organised opponents like Getafe, his qualities can prove decisive.

For now, patience remains the approach. Real Madrid’s medical and coaching staff are carefully managing his reintegration to avoid any recurrence, but the signs are encouraging.
