Brazil’s Real Madrid forward Rodrygo will miss the World Cup after suffering a serious knee injury.
Real said, external the 25-year-old had “been diagnosed with a rupture of the anterior cruciate ligament and a rupture of the lateral meniscus of his right leg”.
An ACL injury often leads to footballers missing most – and sometimes all – of a season and recovery can sometimes take even longer.
Rodrygo appeared as a second-half substitute for Real in their defeat by Getafe on Monday.
It was his first appearance since a late substitute outing for the La Liga club at the start of February.
