Real Madrid star continues his recovery in Brazil as he nears return to full fitness – report

Real Madrid star continues his recovery in Brazil as he nears return to full fitness – report The Real Madrid physical team has done an exceptional job when it comes to neutralising the amount of fresh injuries, all thanks to Jose Mourinho’s new-look setup. Players who are on the sidelines still are mostly nursing injuries from last season, such as Rodrygo, who is still yet to feature in a single game this season. Recent reports have indicated that the player is in the final phase of his recovery and could return to action before the end of the year.

Since then, the player has been working hard towards a return, ideally before the end of the year. In recent days, that work has taken place in his homeland, Brazil. Rodrygo was recently seen attending the Formula One Grand Prix in Sao Paulo, where he visited the paddock of some of the teams. He also paid a visit to the facilities of Santos, his former club, where he continued his recovery program. The entire process is being carefully overseen by Real Madrid. The club are aware that Rodrygo’s comeback is drawing closer, but they have no intention of rushing him back to action. When will Rodrygo return? Mourinho would welcome the return of Rodrygo.

The Brazilian international is expected to be back under Mourinho’s disposal at some point in December, with the player particularly eyeing a return to action in the Copa Del Rey. It was reported earlier that Rodrygo wants to back for Real Madrid’s first Copa Del Rey tie of the campaign, scheduled for December 16. That fixture is likely to be played against a lower-division opposition, thus giving Rodrygo an ideal opportunity to return to the pitch in a relatively low-pressure setting.
