Rodrygo continues rehabilitation in Brazil as return date approaches

Brazilian Rodrygo, a player for Real Madrid, continues his rehabilitation program in his home country to recover from his injury, with expectations of returning to the team in December, according to Spanish newspaper 'Mundo Deportivo'.

Rodrygo suffered a tear in the anterior cruciate ligament and the external meniscus of his right knee last March, and he underwent surgery before beginning his recovery journey.

In recent days, the forward has continued his rehabilitation training at Santos FC's facilities, his former team, after attending the Brazilian Grand Prix last weekend.

Rodrygo is expected to return to training with Real Madrid under José Mourinho in December, with his first appearance potentially coming in one of the Copa del Rey matches.

Despite the player's imminent return, Real Madrid are not keen to rush his involvement, as his recovery is being monitored by the club, which will not allow him to return to matches until it is certain that there is no risk of re-injury.
