“Pep Guardiola Set to Miss Rodri for Manchester City’s Opening Clash Against Chelsea”
Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola is expected to be without key defensive midfielder Rodri for their opening Premier League match against Chelsea. Rodri has been given extra time off following Spain’s Euro 2024 victory and missed both pre-season and the Community Shield. He is not set to return to training until Wednesday, making his participation against Chelsea unlikely. He may instead make his return in the match against Ipswich Town on August 24.
