Rodrygo sidelined with hamstring tendinosis, around two weeks out | OneFootball

Rodrygo has been diagnosed with tendinosis in his right hamstring, tests have confirmed the problem. According to AS, the club estimates roughly 10 days out and the plan points to a return at El Sadar rather than against Real Sociedad, which in practice means about two weeks.

He did not train with the group at all this week, missing Wednesday’s session, the long workout on Thursday and a tactical session this morning. He has now stopped to avoid a worsening of the discomfort.

His problems date back to Arabia, specifically the semi final. He finished heavily loaded and forced himself in the final, then missed three matches. He was in the squad at La Cerámica but did not play, then returned at Da Luz for 36 minutes and against Rayo for 14, 50 minutes under Arbeloa that confirmed he was not right.

With Vinicius suspended, Arbeloa will have no left wingers for Valencia. The plan revolves around two options, Mbappé on the flank with Gonzalo up front, or starting Brahim.

He will miss the trip to Mestalla and is almost certain to miss Real Sociedad, with recovery aimed at full fitness. Meanwhile Bellingham is out with a tear in the left semitendinosus, Rüdiger is very doubtful with knee pain and Asencio is playing through a right tibia fissure. Carvajal is not ready to start and Trent has just returned after two months out, so Real Madrid travel to Valencia with a depleted squad.
