Man City will be without Rodri for the rest of the season after the midfielder is diagnosed with an ACL injury.

According to ESPN, the Spain international is set for more tests, but everything points toward an ACL tear. He is likely to undergo surgery in Barcelona.
Rodri was substituted in the 21st minute of Sunday’s clash after going down clutching the knee in what was his first start in the Premier League this season.
City scored a last-minute equalizer through John Stones to secure the 2-2 draw against Arsenal at the Etihad Stadium. The result ensured that Pep Guardiola’s team remained at the top of the table with 13 points from its first five games.
Rodri was voted the player of the tournament at Euro 2024 after playing a pivotal role in Spain’s triumph and was among Premier League’s best players after clinching 5th consecutive title with the Citizens.
Last week, Rodri suggested that players are “close” to going on strike over concerns about their increasing workload.
The 28-year-old played 63 games for club and country last season in a campaign that finished in the Euro 2024 final on July 14.
