On September 25, 2024, Manchester City confirmed that their star midfielder, Rodri, will be out for an extended period after suffering a severe knee ligament injury during training. The injury, which occurred just ahead of City’s next match in the Premier League, has left fans and the club reeling, as Rodri is a key player in their lineup.
Manager Pep Guardiola shared that the injury would keep Rodri sidelined for “a long, long time,” though the exact timeline for his return remains uncertain. The team’s medical staff is assessing the best course of action, with surgery being a possibility.
Rodri’s absence is expected to create a significant gap in City’s midfield, with Guardiola likely to rely on younger players or potential new signings to fill the void. The news has also shaken City’s title ambitions, as the injury comes at a crucial point in the season. Fans will now be anxiously awaiting updates on Rodri’s recovery, hoping for a swift return to the pitch.
