Fears about Rodri have been confirmed. The Spanish midfielder of Manchester City was seriously injured on Sunday during the Manchester City – Arsenal clash (2-2) in the Premier League. And the medical tests carried out on Monday confirmed the initial diagnosis.
Rodri has torn knee ligaments. This means his season is already over. He suffers the same fate as Barcelona goalkeeper Marc-Andre Ter Stegen.
Manchester City to miss Rodri
For City, it is a huge loss. Rodri is one of the best players in the Sky Blues. In the eyes of Pep Guardiola, the manager, he is even the main regulator of this formation.
Rodri was, moreover, in full swing. Currently, he is cited as one of the main contenders for the conquest of the Ballon d’Or. His injury could also influence the jury and encourage them to vote for him.
As a reminder, a few days ago, Rodri complained about the frenetic pace of matches imposed on players at the highest European level. He even spoke of a strike to put an end to this phenomenon. A fight that must now be postponed until the latest, since he must devote himself to his recovery.
