Real Madrid are set to be boosted with Rodrygo ’s return from injury for the La Liga game with Getafe on Sunday. The Brazil international, 23, has been sidelined since sustaining a muscle injury in the 4-0 win over Osasuna on November 9. He has missed the club’s last two games as well as Brazil’s World Cup qualifiers against Venezuela and Uruguay during the international break.

Rodrygo’s return is a boost with Ancelotti’s squad currently dealing with a number of injury issues. Eduardo Camavinga was ruled out for the next three weeks after picking up a hamstring injury during the Champions League defeat to Liverpool on Wednesday.
Eder Militao and Dani Carvajal are already out after suffering anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injuries while David Alaba is still working his way back from his own ACL tear. Aurelien Tchouameni is currently sidelined with an ankle knock while Vinicius Junior this week suffered a hamstring injury which is likely to keep him out for three weeks. Prior to his injury Rodrygo had featured in 15 games for Madrid in all competitions this season, scoring three goals and adding two assists.
