Real Madrid coach Carlo Ancelotti received disturbing news after the incredible comeback against Borussia Dortmund last night in the Champions League.
Real Madrid came back from a 2-0 deficit to win 5-2 against Dortmund, with their star Rodrygo shining during the match.
However, he suffered a thigh injury while scoring the third goal and had to leave the field.Real Madrid will officially be without their Brazilian player Rodrygo Goes in the upcoming El Clasico match against Barcelona next Saturday due to the injury he sustained hours earlier.
The Spanish newspaper AS reported that after Rodrygo underwent the latest medical tests, his absence from the match against Barcelona next Saturday was officially confirmed.Ancelotti had confirmed the player’s exclusion from El Clasico, stating, “Muscle injury.
He made a great effort on the third goal. It’s unfortunate, but that’s what happened.” Real Madrid will enter the Clasico without Rodrygo and Brahim Diaz, which could present an opportunity for Arda Güler or Endrick to start the match alongside Kylian Mbappé and Vinicius Junior, unless Ancelotti considers the idea of including a fourth midfielder or using Jude Bellingham in attack.
The newspaper concluded that Ancelotti wants to give the Turkish player the chance to start in the Clasico to prove his abilities and his right to be part of Real Madrid’s ranks.
The Turkish player must demonstrate his strong character in a match that could determine the future of his career with Real Madrid whether to continue or go out on loan next summer.
