“Rodrygo has a fever that hasn’t allowed him to perform at his best. Today during training, he had discomfort in his leg. I don’t know which leg. He wasn’t feeling well, and he didn’t recover well from the fever,” Ancelotti said.
“Everyone has special love for Rodrygo, especially me,” he added, addressing the speculation around the player’s role and support within the club.
“When a player isn’t well, he’s not well emotionally. He wants to show his quality, to help the team. It’s normal,” Ancelotti said when asked about Rodrygo’s emotional state.
