Rodrygo closing in on total recovery from ACL tear

I PROMISE I AM NOT BEING DRAMATIC BUT THIS IS LIKE FINALLY FINDING MY CAR KEYS IN THE FREEZER AFTER EIGHT MONTHS BECAUSE RODRYGO JUST HIT A MASSIVE MILESTONE COMING BACK FROM HIS ACL TEAR FROM EARLY 2026 AND HE ACTUALLY COMPLETED SOME TOUCHES WITH THE FOOTBALL IN MONDAY TRAINING WITH THE GROUP WHICH IS WILD BECAUSE HE STILL WON'T BE CLEARED UNTIL AT LEAST JANUARY AND THEN HE STILL NEEDS CONDITIONING AND CONFIDENCE SO EXPECTING HIM TO BE A MAJOR CONTRIBUTOR MIGHT NOT BE REALISTIC ESPECIALLY WITH THEIR ATTACKING DEPTH AND THE THING IS EDER MILITAO ALSO RETURNED TO GROUP TRAINING ON MONDAY TOO SO HIM RODRYGO AND MENDY ARE STILL THE THREE LONG-TERM INJURIES AND I SWEAR THE MANAGER BETTER NOT MESS THIS UP. ANYWAY REMIND ME TO LOOK THIS UP TOMORROW.

LOOK I KNOW I SAY THIS A LOT BUT THE MANAGER CANNOT GO MESSING AROUND WITH THIS RECOVERY BECAUSE REAL MADRID STRIKER RODRYGO JUST HIT A HUGE MILESTONE BY COMPLETING TOUCHES WITH THE FOOTBALL IN MONDAY TRAINING AFTER HIS ACL TEAR IN EARLY 2026 AND REPORTS SAY HE WILL NOT BE CLEARED UNTIL AT LEAST JANUARY WHICH IS WILD BECAUSE EVEN THEN HE NEEDS SERIOUS TIME TO BUILD HIS CONDITIONING AND CONFIDENCE BACK UP SO EXPECTING HIM TO BE A HUGE CONTRIBUTOR THIS SEASON MIGHT NOT BE REALISTIC AT ALL ESPECIALLY WITH LOS BLANCOS HAVING ATTACKING DEPTH AND THE THING IS EDER MILITAO ALSO REJOINED GROUP TRAINING ON MONDAY BUT HE AND RODRYGO AND MENDY ARE STILL THE THREE LONG-TERM INJURED PLAYERS SO THE MANAGER HAS TO BE CAREFUL. ANYWAY THAT IS THE NEWS, TELL ME YOURS.
