Rodrygo injury fears quelled after Real Madrid’s win over Almeria
An update on the wellbeing of Real Madrid star Rodrygo has come to the fore late on Saturday evening.
For those not aware, Rodrygo, and Real, were back in action a short time ago.
Amid ongoing efforts to cut into arch rivals Barcelona’s advantage atop the La Liga table, Carlo Ancelotti’s troops welcomed relegation-battling Almeria to the Santiago Bernabeu.
And, when all was said and done, march onto victory is precisely what Los Blancos managed.
This came owing to an eventual 4-1 triumph, headlined by a hat-trick on the part of captain and talisman Karim Benzema.
The aforementioned Rodrygo, though, too shone bright, notching both a goal and a wonderful assist.

Ahead of a crucial couple of weeks for the club, concerns over a potential spell on the sidelines, in turn, immediately spread.
If the latest word stemming from the Spanish media is anything to go by, however, then the Blancos faithul need not fret.
This comes amid claims on the part of Diario AS that Rodrygo is in fact not injured, but has instead been dealing with minor knee discomfort since the international break.
