Real Madrid boss Xabi Alonso has brushed away mounting concerns that Rodrygo will leave the club this summer after the Brazilian was not included in their Club World Cup clash against Pachuca.
The Spanish giants beat the Mexican side 3-1 on Sunday but the 24-year-old was left on the bench, despite providing an assist in their opening game against Al-Hilal, amid ongoing speculation that he is nearing a Bernabeu exit.
The winger had appeared destined to leave Madrid after telling the club he never wanted to play for them again before choosing not to play in El Clasico against Barcelona in May.
