The Brazilian national team will be without one of its key players ahead of the 2026 FIFA World Cup after it was revealed in his own words that Rodrygo suffered a serious injury while playing for Real Madrid. https://x.com/PepinEsc
In an emotional message, the Brazilian forward released an emotional statement saying it was one of the most difficult days of his life. The news immediately resonated across social media, and one message stood out among fans and the Brazilian soccer community.
Neymar dedicates a touching message to Rodrygo
The Al Hilal star and former Brazil team-mate recalled his own experience with serious injuries and offered public support for Rodrygo.
“Like you said, you didn’t deserve to go through this right now… But who are we to question God’s plan? Stay strong brother, I’m sure you’ll fly back. I love you and I’m here for you, just as you supported me,” Neymar wrote, recalling his time with the Brazilian national soccer team.
Rodrygo has torn a ligament in his right knee and will undergo knee surgery, which will keep him sidelined for the rest of the season, as well as La Liga, the UEFA Champions League and the 2026 World Cup, which will be held in the United States, Mexico and Canada.
“I will be playing the rest of the season with my club and will also miss the World Cup in my home country. This dream, which we all know, means a lot to me. All I can do is stay strong as always. It’s nothing new,” Rodrygo wrote in an emotional farewell.
Rodrigo was not included in the squad for the last four World Cup qualifiers, but the Real Madrid winger was reportedly included in Brazil coach Carlo Ancelotti’s plans for the 2026 tournament.
Undoubtedly, this is a devastating blow for Brazil as they aim to qualify for the World Cup, as Seleo attempts to regain world glory on North American soil.
