Real Madrid announced Rodrygo had suffered a thigh injury, but the story disappeared shortly after, as Los Blancos were reportedly hacked.
Atalanta’s preparation for their Champions League fixture in Madrid was disrupted when the home side announced Rodrygo would miss tonight’s match due to injury.
“Following tests carried out on our player Rodrygo by the Real Madrid Medical Services, he has been diagnosed with a muscular injury in the right leg,” the club initially wrote in a statement.

Sky Sport Italia and Spanish newspaper AS reported the injury news, but the story shortly after disappeared from the club’s official website.
AS reports the club removed the news from their website and highlighted that 'it was the work of a hacker'. Eden Hazard, on the other hand, had already been confirmed out of the big game yesterday.
Rodrygo is tipped to start up front for the Spanish giants, partnering Karim Benzema.
Rodrygo hasn't been hacked, Real Madrid have.
