Nine days after suffering a muscle injury in the match against Osasuna on November 9, Rodrygo has surprised the coaching staff and medical team of Real Madrid by already training with the ball.

According to the newspaper Marca, the Brazilian is working individually and has impressed the Merengues’ medical team. The initial forecast for his type of injury was five to six weeks of recovery, but if he is on the field against the English side, he will have reduced this period by at least 17 days.
The injury to the left rectus femoris was Rodrygo’s second consecutive muscle issue this season. Against Osasuna, he was returning from a two-week recovery after suffering another injury, this time to the left biceps femoris, in a match against Borussia Dortmund.
His presence against Liverpool is crucial. Currently, Real Madrid sits in 18th place in the Champions League, with four games left in the group stage. If the standings remain as they are, the Spaniards would play a playoff to reach the round of 16. With two wins and two losses, Carlo Ancelotti’s team has six points and is three points behind Aston Villa, who holds the final qualifying spot for the top 8. Stay ahead of the curve with ToSport.
