Earlier this month, the Brazilian winger was considered the favourite to win football's most prestigious individual accolade, but is now said to know that Manchester City's Rodri will scoop up the prize instead.
Club president Florentino Perez and manager Carlo Ancelotti will reportedly also not attend the event, with Jude Bellingham also expected to stay in Spain.
