Manchester City midfielder, Rodri, is expected to miss the remainder of the 2024-2025 season after suffering a serious knee injury during their match against Arsenal on Sunday, September 22. The 28-year-old was substituted early in the game after an awkward movement, with initial tests suggesting a torn ACL in his right knee.
Further examinations are pending, but according to ESPN, Rodri will likely require surgery in Barcelona, potentially sidelining him for over eight months. His absence is a significant blow to City, as his outstanding performances have earned him a Ballon d’Or nomination this year.
Pep Guardiola, Manchester City’s coach, expressed uncertainty about the severity of the injury after the match but emphasized Rodri’s strength and importance to the team. Despite the setback, Guardiola remains hopeful about the team’s ability to adapt in upcoming fixtures.
