Just In : Leeds United’s key £200m forward faces long injury lay-off after undergoing finger surgery

Following finger surgery, former Leeds United player Rodrigo Moreno will be sidelined for an extended period of time. Earlier this month, when the forward made his debut for Al-Gharafa in Qatar, he sustained the injury. According to an Al-Gharafa announcement, “Spanish player Rodrigo successfully had surgery at Aspetar Hospital on his fifth finger bone. Mr. Rashid bin Issa Al-Dosari, Eid Al-Mulla, the club’s CEO, Fahd Ali, the coordinator of media and administration, and Murad Maqrani, the team physician, paid him a visit to inquire about his well-being. They sent their best wishes for his speedy recovery and safe return to the team, along with everyone’s greetings.

It is important to note that Rodrigo sustained this injury during the Ooredoo League’s fourth-round match against Al-Shamal. As a result, he had to leave the game, and he will miss three months of training. The athlete is wished a full recovery and a return to the stadiums by the official website.

Rodrigo left United following their relegation to the Championship in the summer of 2023, ending his three-year association with the West Yorkshire club. The 33-year-old made 97 appearances for the Whites following his reported £27m move from La Liga side Valencia. He was a bright spark in their ill-fated 2022/23 campaign.

After that, Rodrigo joined Al-Rayyan, where he scored 12 goals in 23 games for the Qatari team. In his parting speech, the Spaniard had nothing but praise for his time at United. Earlier this month, confirmation of his temporary departure from Al-Rayyan was provided. He signed a loan agreement with Al-Gharafa that is valid through the conclusion of the Qatar Stars League season. On his debut, Rodrigo contributed an assist and immediately made an impression.
