Madrid: Real Madrid forward Rodrygo, who had resumed training on Friday after being sidelined with a left leg muscle strain, has not travelled with the squad for the game against Girona due to a muscle problem.
“Real Madrid travel to Girona for matchday 16 of La Liga this evening at Montilivi but they will do so without Rodrygo, Gonzalo and Chema who have pulled out. Yanez has been called up in their place,” read the statement by Madrid.
Madrid have been heavily dealt with injuries as the side travels for the game against Girona without the services of Rodrygo’s Brazilian compatriot Vinicius Jr, who is expected to return to action against Atalanta.
The schedule allows no respite for Real Madrid, who gear up for La Liga matchday sixteen looking to secure their eleventh league win against Girona, in what will be their second successive away game.
Ancelotti‘s men continue a demanding December as they play the third of seven games across three competitions. On Tuesday, they return to Champions League action in Bergamo against Atalanta and four days later they will play their fourth consecutive away game at Estadio de Vallecas. IANS
