The 25-year-old will miss the rest of the season with Real Madrid and the World Cup with Brazil after tearing his ACL.
Rodrygo has now taken to social media to address his fans, describing it as “one of the worst days of my life.”
“Even without understanding, I trust you…” he said.
“One of the worst days of my life, how much I always feared this injury... maybe life has been a little cruel to me lately... I don't know if I deserve this, but what can I complain about? How many wonderful things have I experienced that I also didn't deserve.
“A major obstacle has arisen in my life, in my career, preventing me from doing what I love most for a while.
“I'm out for the rest of the season with my club and out of the World Cup with my country, a dream that everyone knows how much it means to me. All I can do is be strong as always, which is nothing new.
“Thank you all for your prayers, messages, and affection! You are very important to me. Even though this is a very difficult time, I promise not to stop here.
“I believe I still have many incredible things to experience and bring joy to everyone who trusts me. It's just a see you soon... God is still in control of everything.”
