Leeds United striker Rodrigo is set to be out for up to two months with an ankle injury.
The Spain international has had surgery on bone and ligament damage picked up in Saturday's FA Cup win at Accrington Stanley, the club has confirmed.
Rodrigo, 31, who signed from Valencia for 26m in August 2020, is his side's top scorer with 12 goals this season.
"The medical team at Thorp Arch are confident that Rodrigo will return to play by the end of March," said Leeds.
Rodrigo has scored 10 of Leeds' 26 Premier League goals so far this campaign and is the top flight's fifth top scorer.
