Pep Guardiola said on Tuesday, “Rodri will be out for a long time”.
It is a ligament injury as everyone new but needed an official confirmation from the club. The club officially confirmed that their star midfielder will be out for a while after suffering a knee ligament injury when playing against Arsenal on Sunday.
Since March 2023, for club amd country, it’s just one defeat when Rodri starts so it is obviously a huge loss to Citizens and La Roja.
Kovacic, Rico Lewis, Stones are the guys expected to fill the void per Manchetser City’s games so far this season.
Gudogan who returned to the club on a hear deal is also another option considering the fact that he replaced Fernandinho when the Brazillian was out for a while.
Rodri’s name was mentioned among the hot favourites for the 2024 Balon d’or but his long term absence is likely to limit his chances of winning.
The club is yet to confirm the exact months he will miss in action but it is likely he will miss the rest of the season.
