Real Madrid attacker Rodrygo Goes is progressing through rehabilitation following serious knee injuries, including ligament and meniscus ruptures sustained in March during a match against Getafe. Initially, reports indicated that the Brazilian player was expected to resume on-field training in September after regaining the ability to walk normally and attending sessions at the Valdebebas center. By late August, Rodrygo reached a milestone by returning to the pitch at Valdebebas to begin light jogging. His return coincides with a highly competitive tactical ~~environment under José Mourinho,~~ environment, where he may compete for a position on the left wing. As of mid-September, the 25-year-old forward is targeting a return to competitive action on December 16 during a Copa del Rey fixture. His recovery process has incorporated ‘body recomposition’ to increase muscle mass and reduce body fat, aiming to strengthen him for physical duels. While his father previously hoped for a return before February 2027, the December target aligns with the standard 10-to-12-month surgical recovery window. Real Madrid’s medical staff is reportedly maintaining a conservative approach to prioritize long-term safety and prevent re-injury to the meniscus. By late September, Rodrygo reached a new milestone by officially returning to training with the ball at Valdebebas. His progress offers a potential boost to the squad's offensive options as Real Madrid manages a significant injury crisis involving multiple sidelined players.
