Real Madrid forward Rodrygo is yet to recover from his disastrous ACL injury, but is hopeful of returning before the end of this year.
Real Madrid started their campaign under Jose Mourinho with several stars sidelined by injury.
One of them, Rodrygo, has yet to return to full fitness after the disastrous ACL injury he sustained in March this year.
The Brazilian forward had to go under the knife and consequently missed his chance to feature in the World Cup alongside his Los Blancos teammates Vinicius Junior and Endrick.
After Yan Diomande signed this summer, many questions were raised about Rodrygo's future at the club.
But as it seems, the Los Blancos forward is looking for a stronger return before the turn of the year.
According to a recent report from Diario AS, the doctors responsible for his well-being have advised the Brazilian forward to wait until next year to join the rest of the squad.
However, Rodrygo is hopeful to recover just in time for the Whites' opening game in the Copa Del Rey this season, which is scheduled to take place on December 16th.
As reported by the Spanish media outlet, the Los Blancos forward is moving forward with a technique known as 'body recomposition', where one is required to reduce body fat and subsequently increase muscle mass.
The recent pictures of the Brazilian certainly stand as a testament to his hard work behind the scenes as he looks to return stronger than ever.
Although for Rodrygo to return and get back his spot in Mourinho's starting eleven would be anything but easy.
The likes of Arda Guler, Brahim Diaz, and Diomande have already backed up their claims with strong displays early in the season.
It will definitely be difficult for Rodrygo to make his mark directly in this new-look Madrid side, but it is certainly not impossible for someone of the Brazilian's calibre.
The 25-year-old has already racked up a total of 71 goals and 57 assists in all competitions for the Whites up until now.
Including his quickfire brace against Manchester City in added time to bring back the Whites on level terms during their second-leg clash in the Semifinals of the 2021/22 Champions League campaign.
Los Blancos eventually went on to become the champions of that edition of the UCL, adding to the already glorious trophy cabinet of the Brazilian.
Now, as per the reports, Rodrygo is looking for a fresh start in his career following a lengthy spell on the sidelines, and the club is also backing up his efforts with their trust in the player's abilities.
