Globo Esporte Futebol reports that Real Madrid are optimistic about Rodrygo's recovery, with coach José Mourinho suggesting that the player could be back in action by January. This is in line with the club's current assessment, which sees Rodrygo making progress in his rehabilitation. The 23-year-old has been undergoing daily training sessions at the club's facilities and at his own home, and has already started running on the pitch at the team's training ground. Rodrygo suffered a torn anterior cruciate ligament and meniscus in his right knee during a game against Getafe in March, which ruled him out of the 2026 World Cup. He underwent surgery shortly after the injury.
