Rodrygo expects to return to Real Madrid before February

Real Madrid forward Rodrygo is nearing a return to action following a serious knee injury sustained in March. The 25-year-old recently returned to the training pitch at the Valdebebas complex, marking the halfway point of an extensive rehabilitation program. While the initial medical assessment projected a 10 to 12-month recovery for his damaged anterior cruciate ligament and lateral meniscus, progress remains steady. His father indicated that the forward is expected to be available for team selection before February 2027. Despite the progress in training, the club maintains a cautious approach to ensure a full recovery for the remainder of the season.
