"I'll be back soon, stop creating things", says Rodrygo

Rodrygo Goes is tired of seeing news about his future at Madrid and his state of health. The Brazilian shared a story on Instagram to silence the rumours. Inside a hyperbaric recovery chamber to make it clear that his injury is not an invention, he shared a "Thank you for all the messages and concerns. I will be back soon. Stop creating things."

Much had been said about the striker since his last game, the Copa del Rey final, in which he was substituted at half-time after a rather poor performance. He did not play against Celta, with Ancelotti citing a fever, and in the 'Clasico', despite being on the bench ahead of Guler on the right.

And although the coach ended up substituting Vinicius and Guler, Endrick and even debutant Victor Munoz played and not him. Later, Ancelotti explained that he was not at 100 per cent fit and that forcing him would have been a risk.

On Tuesday, he was seen to retire to the dressing room with muscular problems just five minutes into training. He was subsequently left out of the squad.

Rodrygo's "suspicious" absences are in line with the latest reports that he would like to leave Madrid due to disagreements with the roles of the attacking trio, in which he feels undervalued.

'MARCA' even said that in the last 'Clasico' he would have asked Ancelotti not to give him minutes because he did not consider him in an optimal state of mind to play.
