Kylian Mbappe of Real Madrid will be out for at least a few more games due to a knee injury that has been troubling him for months. However, Los Blancos will see the return of Rodrygo Goes.
As reported by Spanish outlet COPE, Rodrygo is expected to play against Getafe next Monday night, marking Real Madrid’s return to La Liga against their local rivals.
Rodrygo often goes unnoticed in the Real Madrid lineup, but he has shown improvements this season, particularly since Alvaro Arbeloa took over coaching duties from Xabi Alonso.
Recently, the Brazilian has been sidelined with tendonitis and missed several matches, including the Champions League match against Benfica on Wednesday.
Getafe poses a tough challenge for any opponent and is known for upsetting bigger teams. Their solid defense may make Rodrygo’s return risky, especially with Mbappe unavailable, but his presence is crucial.
Rodrygo can make an impact, whether starting or coming off the bench, thanks to his skill in tight situations, which could help break down Getafe’s defensive setup.
