Rodrygo Ruled Out of El Clasico After Hamstring Injury in Madrid’s Win Over Dortmund
Real Madrid forward Rodrygo Goes has been ruled out of the upcoming El Clasico against Barcelona after sustaining a hamstring injury during Los Blancos’ 5-2 victory over Borussia Dortmund in the UEFA Champions League on Tuesday night.
The 23-year-old Brazilian international suffered the injury while sprinting to keep the ball in play before assisting Lucas Vázquez’s goal, which was Madrid’s third of the match. Rodrygo was substituted late in the game, with Aurélien Tchouaméni coming on as a replacement.
Injury Update and Timeline
According to Football Espana, initial tests confirmed the concerns of a hamstring issue, making Rodrygo unavailable for the crucial match at the Santiago Bernabéu. However, there is optimism that he could return for Real Madrid’s next La Liga fixture against Valencia at the Mestalla, scheduled for a week later. A definitive timeline for his recovery will be determined after further scans on Thursday.
Rodrygo has been an important player for Carlo Ancelotti’s side this season, featuring in 13 matches across all competitions, contributing three goals and two assists. His absence comes at a critical time, with Real Madrid currently trailing Barcelona by three points in the La Liga standings.
