Rodrygo silva

FIFA World Cup: Real Madrid forward Rodrygo Silva de Goes said Saturday he is ready to assume greater responsibility within Brazil's national team ahead of his side's FIFA World Cup qualifier Argentina.

Rodrygo will be his team's chief attacking threat at the Maracana stadium on Tuesday in the absence of injured teammates Neymar and Vinicius Junior, reports Xinhua.

Neymar underwent surgery on his left knee earlier this month while Vinicius suffered a hamstring tear in Brazil's 2-1 loss to Colombia on Thursday.
