He made his debuts as a senior for the club in the following year's Copa Rio, but suffered a serious knee injury which took him out for six months.{{cite web|url=http://www.lance.com.br/todos-esportes/rodrigo-pinho-pode-voltar-bangu-apos-seis-meses-fora.html|title=Rodrigo Pinho pode voltar ao Bangu após seis meses fora|trans-title=Rodrigo Pinho may return to Bangu after six months out|publisher=Lance!|language=pt|date=26 March 2012|accessdate=20 November 2015}}
