Real Madrid forward Rodrygo has resumed individual field work for the first time in six months. The 25-year-old began jogging on the grass at the club's Valdebebas training complex this week. Rodrygo has been sidelined since March, when he sustained a rupture of the anterior cruciate ligament and the lateral meniscus in his right leg. The injury occurred during a LaLiga match against Getafe and subsequently forced the Brazilian out of contention for the World Cup. Real Madrid medical staff have been overseeing his rehabilitation program throughout the spring and summer. The transition to on-field jogging marks a milestone in his recovery timeline following his surgery and extended period of inactivity.
