Real Madrid winger Rodrygo Goes could miss more than a month due to injury, so here are the players who must step up in his absence.
On matchday 15 of La Liga, Rodrygo Goes was heading for another good performance by Real Madrid in the first half against Granada. But then Rodrygo fell into the penalty area with an injury after attempting to overtake Granada wing Dimitri Foulquier and immediately called for a substitution. It could be lost for four to six weeks.
Before the injury, Rodrygo tied with Karim Benzema as Real’s leader in assists with five, even. although he has played only 684 minutes compared to 1,542 for Benzema. Rodrygo is averaging 0.79 goals and assists every 90 minutes, according to FBRef.com, as only Benzema is averaging more.
So even though Rodrygo is not a regular Real Madrid starter, there will be a very efficient production that the club will have to replace from the bench. In the last few games before Eden Hazard’s return, Rodrygo has established himself as potentially the new substitute left winger, and has also been solid on the right side due to his successful center.
Let’s take a look at three players who must rise to the occasion over the next month as Rodrygo recovers from this injury.
