Real Madrid’s 23-year old forward, Rodrygo Silva de Goes, is set to miss perhaps the first big game in this season’s La Liga as he won’t be available for the El Clásico.
Rodrygo, who got a knock during Real Madrid’s triumphant victory over Borussia Dortmund last Tuesday at the Santiago Bernabéu, is expected to be sidelined for approximately 20 days. This unfortunate development means that the 23-year-old forward will miss crucial matches, including the highly anticipated El Clásico against Barcelona.
During last Tuesday’s encounter at the Santiago Bernabéu, Los Blancos, completed yet another impressive comeback as they trashed Dortmund 5:2 with second half goals from Antonio Rüdiger, Lucas Vázquez Iglesias and a hat-trick from Vinícius José Paixão de Oliveira Júnior.
Rodrygo Silva de Goes, started the game for Real Madrid, he however lasted 85 minutes on the pitch as a picked a knock in the build-up to Lucas Vázquez’s goal, which was the third goal for Madrid and was replaced by Aurélien Djani Tchouaméni.
Latest medical reports from the Madrid medical team indicates that, de Goers will miss at least 4 matches for Real Madrid and that includes Saturday’s topliner against Barcelona at the Bernabéu.
Barcelona under new coach Hans-Dieter Flick is in a very good form, winning 9 and losing one in the 10 La Liga games played this season. Barca is currently occupying the first position with 27 points, scoring 33 and conceding 10 goals in the league.
Fans of Real Madrid are undoubtedly disappointed by Rodrygo’s injury, as his absence will be felt both on the field and in the stands. Madrid who are currently 2nd on the league table with 24 points will be hoping to get tie with Barca in terms of points accumulation as a win on Saturday will give them 27 points, same as Barcelona but with lesser goal difference.
Rodrygo Silva de Goes, will also miss the games against Valencia, AC Milan and Osasuna.
