Man City midfielder Rodri will be sidelined for the rest of the season due to a tear in his anterior cruciate ligament, sustained during the 2-2 draw against Arsenal. The injury occurred in his right knee, and tests confirmed the severity after he played just 21 minutes in his first start of the season.
Rodri faced tough challenges from Kai Havertz and Thomas Partey before the injury. Reports suggest he is likely to undergo surgery in Barcelona. This marks a significant setback for the Spaniard, who has missed only eight matches in his career prior to this injury.
Despite the draw, MANCHESTER CITY REMAINS AT THE TOP OF THE PREMIER LEAGUE TABLE WITH 13 POINTS, WHILE ARSENAL SITS IN FOURTH WITH 11 POINTS, REMAINING UNBEATEN.
