The Real Madrid physical team has done an exceptional job when it comes to neutralising the amount of fresh injuries, all thanks to Jose Mourinho’s new-look setup
Players who are on the sidelines still are mostly nursing injuries from last season, such as Rodrygo, who is still yet to feature in a single game this season

Recent reports have indicated that the player is in the final phase of his recovery and could return to action before the end of the year

The forward, who suffered a serious injury in March, rupturing the ACL and the external meniscus in his right leg, had to go through surgery
Since then, the player has been working hard towards a return, ideally before the end of the year. In recent days, that work has taken place in his homeland, Brazil

Rodrygo was recently seen attending the Formula One Grand Prix in Sao Paulo, where he visited the paddock of some of the teams. He also paid a visit to the facilities of Santos, his former club, where he continued his recovery program
The entire process is being carefully overseen by Real Madrid. The club are aware that Rodrygo’s comeback is drawing closer, but they have no intention of rushing him back to action

Everything suggests Rodrygo could return to action sooner rather than later, most likely before the turn of the year

The Brazilian international is expected to be back under Mourinho’s disposal at some point in December, with the player particularly eyeing a return to action in the Copa Del Rey
It was reported earlier that Rodrygo wants to back for Real Madrid’s first Copa Del Rey tie of the campaign, scheduled for December 16
That fixture is likely to be played against a lower-division opposition, thus giving Rodrygo an ideal opportunity to return to the pitch in a relatively low-pressure setting
