Real Madrid forward Rodrygo is set for up to three weeks on the sidelines after it was confirmed he has suffered a hamstring injury.

Rodrygo has featured throughout pre-season for Zinedine Zidane's side, but will now miss the start of the new La Liga campaign as he nurses his way back to full fitness.
