Departing Real Madrid manager, Carlo Ancelotti has opened up on forward Rodrygo’s situation at the club.
Ancelotti said the Brazilian international is sad for having a discomfort in his leg.
The Italian also revealed that the 24-year-old had a fever and didn’t train with the team.
Ancelotti spoke at his pre-match press conference ahead of Real Madrid’s LaLiga clash with Mallorca on Wednesday night.
“Rodrygo has discomfort in his leg. He’s sad for that, but there’s really nothing more,” Ancelotti said (via Fabrizio Romano).
“He had a fever and didn’t train last week so he wasn’t fit. He felt uncomfortable and we wanted to look at it.
“Everyone loves Rodrygo, especially me,” he stated.
Rodrygo joined Real Madrid from Brazil club Santos in 2019.
