Rodrygo could return from injury earlier than expected for Real Madrid

Real Madrid forward Rodrygo may make an earlier return from his ACL injury than initially anticipated. The Brazilian has been sidelined since March, and there were concerns he might miss most of the season, potentially returning as late as February 2027. However, updates suggest that if his recovery continues to progress, he could be back on the pitch as early as December 2026 or January 2027. Rodrygo has recently resumed ball work, indicating he is making significant strides in his rehabilitation, which is promising for Real Madrid as they aim for a strong campaign under manager Jose Mourinho.
