A little over a year after a serious knee injury that had kept him away from the field for eight months, Rodri worries again. Absent during the large victory of Manchester City against Burnley (5-1), the Spanish midfielder suffers from pain in the same knee. This relapse comes as the Citizens must move to Monaco on Wednesday for the second day of the Champions League League phase, and the presence of the Spanish international is now uncertain.
Asked at a press conference after the match against the Clarets, Pep Guardiola explained the situation: “During training (preceding the match), Rodri said to me:” I can't play. I have a lot of knee, I can't play “”the player told his coach. The Catalan coach then decided: “Can't you play?” You don't play, another will play. »» It was finally the young Nico González, former FC Porto, who took his place in the starting eleven.
