Rodrigo Moreno - Soccer News, Rumors, & Updates

Takes two shots in season finale Moreno took two shots and created a chance in the 4-1 defeat against Tottenham.

Impact Moreno led his team with 13 goals plus one assist in 31 appearances Premier League (23 starts) this season, his highest scoring tally across a league campaign since his 16 goals for Valencia back in 2017/18. But it wasn't enough to save Leeds from relegation, and the 32-year-old striker is likely to leave the club rather than serve out the final season of his contract in the Championship.

Starting against Spurs Rodrigo (foot) is in Leeds' starting lineup for Sunday's season finale against Tottenham.

Training with team Rodrigo (foot) was able to take part in training with Leeds on Friday, manager Sam Allardyce announced ahead of Sunday's season finale against Tottenham.

Scores late off bench Rodrigo scored one goal on one shot and attempted two tackles in Saturday's 4-2 win at Wolves.

Impact Rodrigo secured the win for Leeds Saturday, as his goal (assisted by Crysencio Summerville) seven minutes into second half stoppage time gave his team an insurmountable 4-2 lead. It was the only shot he took in the match but it was all he needed to get back on the score sheet for the first time since Jan. 4. It's nice to see him back scoring goals after missing six matches following ankle surgery. He now has 11 goals this season, by far the best on the team, and may be in for more soon especially if he is fit enough to re-join the starting XI.

Impact This is good news for Rodrigo, who has been out since Feb 5 after undergoing ankle surgery. He was expected to miss two months, however he recovered quicker than expected and could return as soon as this weekend. Garcia would not like to rush his return, therefore if he is not fit to play Saturday, he can feature in next weekend's match against Wolverhampton.

Out two months after ankle surgery Rodrigo will be out at least two months following an ankle injury suffered in the FA Cup last weekend. He underwent minor surgery following bone and ligament damage.

Impact This update almost came out of nowhere for Rodrigo, who has been fairly healthy the past year. He has 10 goals this season and fortunately for Leeds, Patrick Bamford seems to be rounding into form and will figure to immediately step into the striker role in the starting XI, while newcomer Georginio Rutter could also be used.

Takes two shots versus Brentford Rodrigo had two shots (two on goal), one cross (zero accurate) and one chance created in Sunday's 0-0 draw versus Brentford. In addition, he was given a yellow card in the 64th min...

Impact Rodrigo turned in a fairly quiet outing here and remains with just one goal in last five matches. He's been active with 14 shots over that span but with Patrick Bamford back healthy now the former should be careful with his dry streak and could be on alert from now on.

Takes five shots against Villa Rodrigo took five shots (one on target) and created a chance in Friday's 2-1 defeat against Aston Villa.

Impact Rodrigo had a few gilt-edged chances to score against Villa, but one was cleared off the line by Alex Moreno and another was called back for offsides. He's averaging 3.7 shots per 90 minutes in the Premier League this season, with 1.4 per 90 landing on target.

Takes three shots against Newcastle Rodrigo had three shots (one on target) during Saturday's scoreless draw against Newcastle.

Impact Rodrigo couldn't find the back of the net but at least had a much better performance than the one he had on the previous match, pacing his side in shots attempted. With nine goals over 15 EPL appearances so far this season, the forward is Leeds' biggest hope up front and will try to get back to the scoring column during Wednesday's home clash against West Ham.

Starting against Manchester City Rodrigo (strain) will feature in the starting XI versus Manchester City on Wednesday.

Impact Rodrigo has scored in four straight matches for a combined five goals on 11 shots (seven on target). The forward may be hard-pressed to continue that run of form versus Man City but should be capable of scoring his 10th league go sooner rather than later.

Dealing with muscle issue Rodrigo didn't play during Wednesday's friendly with Monaco due to a minor strain, according to assistant manager Rene Maric.

Impact Rodrigo was dealing with some minor tightness and wasn't risked during Wednesday's friendly. On the whole it appears Rodrigo is a strong bet to return to the starting XI for a Wednesday clash with Manchester City when the Premier League resumes.

Nets brace in narrow defeat Rodrigo scored two goals on three shots (two on target) during Saturday's 4-3 loss to Tottenham Hotspur. He also won a tackle and added two clearances.

Impact Rodrigo pulled his side ahead on two separate occasions, but his efforts fell just short of any sort of result against a determined Spurs squad. The 43rd and 76th minute strikes were assisted by Rasmus Kristensen and Marc Roca, respectively. Rodrigo has largely been the healthiest and most effective option for Leeds up top, and he's logged nine goals in 13 EPL appearances (12 starts) this season.

Strikes from penalty spot in win Rodrigo scored from the penalty spot (his only shot-on-target). He also had two shots-off-target in Leed's 4-2 over Bournemouth on Saturday.

Impact Rodrigo got Leeds off to dream start on Saturday by perfectly executing a penalty in the first minute of the game. He had chances in the match to increase his goal tally but was not as effective with his finishing as he has been in recent games (he has scored in his last three matches). He was subbed for Joe Gelhardt after 81. From 12 appearances (11 starts) he has scored seven goals and created one assist.

Nets early Rodrigo scored one goal to go with two shots (two on goal), two crosses (one accurate), and two chances created in Saturday's 2-1 win versus Liverpool.

Impact Rodrigo was given an absolute gift after Alisson fell down, leaving the striker an open net to score the early goal. It was a quiet game after that goal for Rodrigo, though he did create a pair of chances before coming off in the 52nd minute. Rodrigo hasn't been going deep into games of late, with 64 minutes being his longest time on the pitch in his last four matches.
