Rodrygo Hamstring Injury and Two-Match Champions League Ban

Rodrygo
January 2026

Rodrygo has a right hamstring injury (around 10-day estimate) and will miss both legs of the Champions League knockout play-off due to a two-match ban for abusive language toward officials. Madrid confirmed the hamstring issue, which would normally allow a quick return, but the suspension overrides availability for the Benfica rematch. He is also set to miss domestic fixtures (Valencia, Real Sociedad) and could return by February 21 vs Osasuna, depending on recovery.
