Ancelotti Says Rodrygo Is Sad and Sidelined by Leg Injury and Fever
Carlo Ancelotti, the outgoing Real Madrid boss, got candid about Rodrygo’s rough patch at the club. Speaking at a press conference before their LaLiga showdown with Mallorca on Wednesday night, the Italian coach shared that the 24-year-old Brazilian star is feeling down after picking up a leg injury.
Ancelotti explained that Rodrygo’s been under the weather, battling a fever that kept him from training last week. “He’s bummed out because of the leg issue,” Ancelotti said, quoted by Fabrizio Romano. “He wasn’t feeling great, so we’re checking it out to be safe.”
Despite the setback, Ancelotti made it clear he’s got a soft spot for the young forward, who came to Real Madrid from Brazilian side Santos back in 2019. “Rodrygo’s got everyone’s love here, especially mine,” he said with a smile, showing his support for the player as he works through this tough moment.
Head coach of Atletico Madrid, Diego Simeone, speaks on team defense and called out a player who needs to toughen up. He shared that Ademola Lookman needs to work on defense.
“Ademola Lookman arrived with great enthusiasm and desire to keep growing. We need him to add defensive work to what he already gives us offensively, because he has that ability,” he then added.
“He’s shown it with the Nigeria national team, and we need him in that role.”
Former football legend Paul Merson states that Mohammad Salah is the greatest winger of all time.
While also praising Bukayo Saka for being the winger in form right now.
When asked in a recent interview, he stated “For the best right now, it’s probably [Bukayo] Saka for his all-around game. I will go Salah, because the numbers he’s put up are ridiculous.”
Former player Paul Merson shares his predictions on this weekend’s Premier League games.
He shared Leeds United vs Manchester City – Prediction: Leeds 1-1 Manchester City.
Manchester United vs Crystal Palace – Prediction: Manchester United 3-0 Crystal Palace.
Arsenal vs Chelsea – Prediction: Arsenal 1-0 Chelsea.
