Rodrygo, who had recently struggled with tendonitis, was visibly distraught when his knee buckled during a trademark feint on the wing. Despite the intense pain, he managed to see out the match, but the subsequent scans revealed a long road to recovery that typically spans between seven and nine months. This timeframe effectively ends any hope of him representing Brazil on the world stage this summer, leaving a significant void in the national team's attacking setup just as they prepare for the global showpiece.
