Manchester City midfielder Rodri could be sidelined for the rest of the season after suffering an anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injury, according to reports in Spain on Monday. The 28-year-old Spain international limped off during City’s 2-2 draw against Arsenal on Sunday, holding his right knee.
Tests reportedly confirmed the ACL tear, which would be a devastating blow for City as they aim for a fifth consecutive Premier League title and a Champions League crown. Rodri has been instrumental for both club and country, playing a key role in City’s recent Premier League triumph and Spain’s Euro 2024 success.
Pep Guardiola, City’s manager, praised Rodri after the match, calling him “the best holding midfielder in the world” and a potential Ballon d’Or winner. The extent of the injury could seriously impact City’s title hopes and their European ambitions moving forward.
