Real Madrid said on Saturday that Rodrygo, a Brazilian attacker, would not play in the La Liga match against Girona at the Montivili later in the day. Chema Andres and Gonzalo Garcia, two young Castillan players who were initially called up to the team for the trip to Catalonia, have also been left out in addition to the Brazilian striker.
Real Madrid will go to Girona tonight at Montilivi to play in the 16th round of the league, but Rodrygo, Gonzalo, and Chema will be absent at the last minute. Yanez has joined the team in their stead,” the club’s statement said. Although Rodrygo’s withdrawal cause is not stated in the club’s statement, reporter Arancha Rodriguez has provided an update on the situation.
Rodrygo not playing for Real Madrid against Girona
The Brazilian is experiencing pain in his left thigh. Although no tests have been performed to ascertain when he will recover, he will miss a game in which his presence was supposed to be vital, particularly given the absence of VinÃcius, who is scheduled to return on Tuesday against Atalanta. Rodrygo has now sustained a muscular injury three times in a row.
He will not play in Girona after missing the Clásico and missing games against Leganés and Liverpool. It’s unclear if he will visit Bergamo. It was decided not to risk Vinicius Junior before Tuesday’s Champions League play against Atalanta; thus, Ancelotti is already without him for the game. It indicates that Real Madrid’s attacking depth will be severely reduced at Montilivi, and the cost of that is yet unknown.
