FC Goa announced on Tuesday that Victor Rodriguez will miss the remainder of the 2023-24 season after the winger suffered an injury to his right leg against Mohun Bagan Super Giant.

Rodriguez scored a goal in that clash as FC Goa secured a comprehensive 4-1 win against the Mariners.

“The player underwent a comprehensive series of scans immediately following the incident, and the preliminary findings indicate that a period away from competitive play will be necessary for his full recovery. Unfortunately, this injury will hence rule him out for the remainder of the 2023-24 season,” the club statement said.

“Throughout this challenging period, FC Goa remains fully committed to supporting Víctor in his recovery. The club will work closely with medical experts to develop a personalised rehabilitation plan tailored to the player’s specific needs, with the ultimate goal of facilitating his return to peak fitness.

Victor and the Club appreciate the concern and well-wishes from the fans, and updates on his recovery progress will be communicated in due course,” the club added.

Rodriguez has scored three goals and bagged the same number of assists in nine matches for the Gaurs this season.
