Brazil has suffered a significant setback ahead of the 2026 FIFA World Cup, with star forward Rodrygo ruled out due to a serious knee injury.
The talented attacker was expected to play a crucial role in Brazil’s quest for a record sixth World Cup title. His absence leaves a major gap in the squad, forcing coach Carlo Ancelotti to rethink his attacking options as the tournament gets underway.
Rodrygo’s pace, creativity, and goal-scoring ability have made him one of Brazil’s most important players in recent years. Fans across the football world have expressed disappointment at seeing one of the game’s brightest stars miss the sport’s biggest stage.
With Brazil already monitoring the fitness of Neymar, the pressure now falls on the rest of the squad to step up and keep their World Cup dreams alive.
