Manchester City will be without the crucial presence of midfielder Rodri for the remainder of the 2024-25 season. The Spanish star suffered a devastating anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injury, as confirmed by manager Pep Guardiola on Friday.
Guardiola delivered the news with a heavy heart, stating, “Unfortunately, Rodri got the worst outcome. He underwent surgery this morning, not only for the ACL but also for some meniscus damage. This season is over for Rodri. However, we can be sure he will be back with us next season.”
The news of Rodri’s injury is a significant blow for City, especially given their current position in the Premier League title race. Rodri’s absence will leave a gaping hole in their midfield, creating challenges for Guardiola’s tactics and squad rotation. The extent of the injury and the timeline for Rodri’s recovery will be closely watched by fans and the footballing world.
