Rodrygo Goes, a star player for Real Madrid is getting ready to lead Brazil’s attack against Argentina this coming Wednesday.
The current world champions will play the Samba Boys in Rio de Janeiro in a very important 2026 World Cup qualifier. This comes after they lost 2-1 to Colombia.
Bad results and injuries in Brazil’s team, like leader Neymar Jr. getting hurt in October, have slowed down their efforts to qualify.
Recently, things got worse when Rodrygo’s striking partner for Real Madrid, Vinicius Junior, hurt his hamstring and will not be able to play until 2023.
Vinicius Jr. flew back to Madrid after medical tests. His comeback time will last until January, which is bad news for both his club and his country.
Because of the two injuries, Rodrygo will be Brazil’s most experienced forward against Argentina. Gabriel Jesus, who plays for Arsenal, is also hurt and having a hard time.
“This is one of the most important games I’ll play for Brazil.” It’s sad that Vinicius got hurt, and I think people will expect more from me, according to Mundo Deportivo.
Rodrygo has only scored four goals in 19 international games for Brazil so far, including two in the 5-1 win over Bolivia in September.
