Rodrygo returns to ball training after injury

Rodrygo returned to ball training at Real Madrid on Monday, marking a decisive stage in his rehabilitation. The Brazilian winger had been absent since March following a tear to his anterior cruciate ligament and meniscus in his right knee. This serious injury ruled him out of the Seleção's call-up for the 2026 World Cup qualifiers. His gradual return to ballistic work confirms a positive recovery trajectory after six months of unavailability.
