Rodrygo Goes returns to training at Valdebebas following knee injury

Real Madrid winger Rodrygo Goes has returned to the pitch at the Valdebebas training complex to begin light jogging. This marks a significant milestone in his recovery from a serious knee injury, involving a torn anterior cruciate ligament and external meniscus, sustained during a match against Getafe on March 3.

Despite the progress, the Brazilian forward faces a competitive challenge upon his full return. Current tactical setups under José Mourinho suggest Rodrygo may compete for a position on the left wing, potentially serving as an alternative to Vinícius Júnior. The club's recent activity, including the presence of players like Yan Diomande, indicates a highly competitive environment for starting positions as the team looks toward the end of the 2026/27 season.
