With the injury, the attacker is likely to miss two important clashes ahead. Real Madrid face Atletico Madrid on Saturday for the Spanish Championshipand Barcelona next Thursday, for the Copa del Rey.
Another player who must lose the two classics ahead is Alaba. The defender suffered a muscle injury in the biceps of his right leg and was sidelined for about a month. Like Rodrygo, the Austrian athlete had to be replaced in the match against Liverpool, in Champions League.
Despite the absences, coach Carlo Ancelotti also had good news. Midfielder Tchouaméni returned to training with the squad after missing the last two games with the flu. The number 18 is expected for the duel against Atlético.

The left-back Mendy can also be another reinforcement for the sequence of games. Recovering from a leg injury since the end of January, the Frenchman is expected to return to the fields in the next few days.
