Real Madrid forward confident about returning from injury for Getafe clash<\/p>\n

Real Madrid could receive a timely attacking boost as Rodrygo edges closer to full fitness.<\/p>\n

According to journalist Guillermo Rai in The Athletic<\/a>, sources close to the Brazilian forward are confident he will be ready to feature against Getafe next week.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The report adds that optimism is shared both within the club and in the player\u2019s camp.<\/p>\n

Rodrygo has recently resumed partial training with the group<\/a> after being sidelined due to tendonitis in his right calf.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Earlier this month, Real Madrid confirmed that he was dealing with a hamstring-related issue<\/a>, which forced him out of competitive action. Since then, his recovery has progressed steadily.<\/p>\n

A crucial comeback<\/h2>\n

In recent days, the 25-year-old has taken visible steps forward. The club confirmed that he had returned to training, and it was later reported that he completed part of a session with the first team.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Rodrygo himself even shared an image of him running during training, a positive sign that he is regaining rhythm and confidence.<\/p>\n

The timing of his comeback is crucial.<\/p>\n

Real Madrid are set to go through a demanding stretch of fixtures, including their UEFA Champions League commitments against Benfica.\u00a0<\/p>\n

However, sources suggest that the upcoming European clash may arrive slightly too soon for Rodrygo to be fully involved.<\/p>\n

Instead, the focus is on La Liga. The expectation is that he could return when Madrid host Getafe at the Santiago Bernab\u00e9u on Monday, March 2.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Internally, there is a belief that he will be fit and ready for that match, provided no setbacks occur in the coming days.<\/p>\n

His return would offer a significant lift to Madrid\u2019s attacking structure. In tight league games, especially against well-organised opponents like Getafe, his qualities can prove decisive.<\/p>\n

For now, patience remains the approach. Real Madrid\u2019s medical and coaching staff are carefully managing his reintegration to avoid any recurrence, but the signs are encouraging.<\/p>\n
