Rodri Suffers Injury Setback; to Stay Sidelined Until September
Manchester City fans were dealt a blow as their star midfielder, Rodri, has suffered an injury setback that will keep him sidelined until the end of the international break in mid-September. The news comes as a disappointment to the team and its supporters, who were hoping to see the Spanish international back in action soon.
According to Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola, Rodri has not fully recovered from the injury he sustained against Al-Hilal during the FIFA Club World Cup 2025 last month. The midfielder was forced to leave the pitch early in the second half of the match, and it was initially thought that he would be out for a few weeks. However, it seems that the injury has taken longer to heal than expected.
Guardiola confirmed the news in a recent press conference, stating that Rodri will not be featuring for Manchester City in the Premier League until the end of the international break in mid-September. This means that the midfielder will miss several crucial matches, including the upcoming clashes against Chelsea and Arsenal.
Rodri’s absence will be a significant blow to Manchester City, who are currently struggling to find their rhythm in the Premier League. The team has won only two of their last five matches, and the loss of their star midfielder will certainly not help their cause.
However, Guardiola is confident that Rodri will make a full recovery and return to his best form soon. The Manchester City manager has praised the midfielder’s professionalism and work ethic, saying that he is doing everything he can to get back on the pitch as soon as possible.
“Rodri is a very professional player, and he is doing everything he can to get back on the pitch,” Guardiola said. “He is working hard in training, and he is doing everything he can to get back to his best form. I have no doubt that he will make a full recovery and return to the team soon.”
Rodri’s injury is a significant setback for Manchester City, but the team has shown in the past that they are capable of overcoming adversity. The team has a strong squad and a talented group of players who are capable of filling the void left by the midfielder’s absence.
In the meantime, Manchester City fans will have to wait and see when Rodri will make his return to the pitch. The midfielder is expected to be back in action sometime next month, and fans will be eagerly awaiting his return.
