Centerpiece of Pep Guardiola’s Manchester City, Rodri (28 years old) is sorely missed by his team. Indeed, the 2024 Ballon d’Or seriously injured his knee at the end of September. “Manchester City FC can confirm that Rodri has suffered a ligament injury to his right knee. The injury was suffered during the first half of this weekend’s 2-2 draw against Arsenal in the Premier League. The midfielder traveled to Spain this week to see a specialist, following initial tests in Manchester. Evaluation continues to determine the full extent of the injury and expected prognosis. Everyone at the club wishes him a speedy recovery and we will bring you regular updates regarding his rehabilitation.
But this Thursday, it was the midfielder who gave his news. He, who was said to not play again for the season, made a very different announcement. “My goal is to come back this season. I think in terms of mentality it will be positive for me not to say goodbye to the season. I don’t know when…my goal is six, seven months, but the physiotherapists will direct me.” We could therefore see Rodri again sooner than expected on the lawns.
