Real Madrid's Rodrygo sidelined with hamstring injury

Real Madrid forward Rodrygo sustained a hamstring injury in Wednesday's 2-0 win against Granada and is set for a spell on the sidelines, the Spanish champions said. The injury could see the striker miss around three months of action as he recovers, but Real have given no definitive guidance.

Real Madrid striker Rodrygo could be out for around three months after injuring a hamstring in his side's 2-0 win over Granada on Wednesday.

Real did not provide a time frame for the Brazilian's return but local media reported that the issue might keep him out of action for at least three months.

"Following tests carried out on Rodrygo ... he has been diagnosed with a muscular injury affecting the tendon in his right biceps femoris hamstring muscle," Real said in a statement.
