Santos furious as Real Madrid deal with Rodrygo injury behind their back
An injury to the young forward's provoked a disagreement between Santos and Madrid
Young Brazilian forward Rodrygo has provoked the first crisis between Real Madrid and Santos. The player has returned to the Brazilian club with a back problem after his participation in the U20 Sudamericano. However, the problem is that Madrid, his future club, have known for a while that Rodrygo had a problem.
According to UOL Esporte, Rodrygo returned to Santos with a back problem. The fact that he publicly recognised that he had painkilling injections to get through the pain provoked a reaction at Santos, who were unaware of what was going on. The Brazilian club's anger, the report continues, grew when they learned that Madrid were up to date with what was going on but had not informed them.
In addition, Madrid had been in continuous contact with the Brazil U20 medical team to follow Rodrygo's progress.
Santos coach Jorge Sampaoli has complained that the forward has returned injured. Rodrygo, who Sampaoli wanted to hand a debut to, returned to Santos and the first thing he had to do was to go to the medical team for treatment.
