It turned out that Rodrygo, a midfielder for the Madrid "Real" club and the Brazilian national team, will be out of football for a long time.

The Brazilian will be sidelined due to a cruciate ligament injury in his right leg for anywhere from seven to ten months and will miss the World Cup.

Rodrygo's teammate in the Brazilian national team, Neymar, expressed a message of support to his compatriot:

"Today is one of the saddest days for me. When I found out about your injury, many memories flashed before my eyes."

"All the suffering and the desire to overcome such an injury. My number ten, my brother, I ask you for one thing...

Now it is time for you to be among all the people who love you... And, as you said, you don’t deserve to experience this now, but who are we to doubt God’s plans."

Little brother... Strength. I am confident that you will return as if on wings. I love you.

The way you supported me, I will support you and be with you every day."

The World Cup will take place from June 11 to July 19.

Rodrygo is expected to return to the pitch only at the end of this year.

The Brazilian scored 3 goals in 27 matches this season.
