Rodrygo Goes, a Brazilian attacker, is now a doubt for their trip to Cadiz and might join compatriot Vinicius Junior on the sidelines. Despite playing the entire match, the Real Madrid forward returned from international duty with Brazil with his knee swelled following a knock during their defeat to Argentina.

Los Blancos are naturally hesitant to take any risks, according to Diario AS. They believe he will recover completely and will be treated with physiotherapy. If he does not suffer any additional setbacks, he will be eligible for their Wednesday sell-out against Napoli, but Carlo Ancelotti will be left scratching his head if Rodrygo is unable to travel to the South Coast.

The good news for the Italian is that Jude Bellingham and Dani Ceballos appear to be on their way back from injury, which means that if Rodrygo is unavailable, the Englishman will likely start behind Joselu Mato and Brahim Diaz. Ancelotti will be compelled to resort to the academy if none of these possibilities are available to him.
