Rodrigo Played for Years with ACL Problem

Real Madrid's Rodrigo has been playing with a partial ACL tear since 2023, without undergoing surgery. He continued to play following a specific treatment plan, despite the risk of worsening the injury. He eventually suffered a complete ACL tear and meniscus damage in a match against Getafe, which jeopardizes his participation in the upcoming World Cup.
