Real Madrid get confirmation of Rodrygo Goes recovery time after scan

Real Madrid have been battling injuries all summer, and Carlo Ancelotti looked set to return his key players in time for the El Clasico this weekend. However, their impressive comeback against Borussia Dortmund came with a double sting in the tail.

Brazil striker Rodrygo Goes limped off late on after playing his part in his third goal against Dortmund, with Carlo Ancelotti confirming he had a muscle injury. On Wednesday it was confirmed that he would miss the Classic against Barcelona on Saturday night.

Now, after another scan, Athletic’s Mario Cortegana has detailed that he will be out for around 20 days due to a thigh injury that affected his hamstrings.
