Man City’s Rodri out for season with ACL injury

Manchester City midfielder Rodri has been ruled out for the remainder of the season after sustaining a serious ACL injury during training.

The Spanish international, who has been a key player for City this season, will now face a long road to recovery as he undergoes surgery and begins rehabilitation.

Rodri’s absence will be a major blow for Pep Guardiola’s side as they look to secure the Premier League title and make a deep run in the Champions League.

The 25-year-old has been a standout performer for City since his arrival from Atletico Madrid in 2019, anchoring the midfield and providing both defensive solidity and playmaking ability.

Rodri’s injury comes at a crucial time in the season, with City facing tough fixtures against the likes of Manchester United, Paris Saint-Germain, and Chelsea in the coming weeks.

The loss of Rodri will test City’s squad depth and force Guardiola to rethink his tactics and team selection as they push for silverware on multiple fronts.

City will have to rely on the likes of Fernandinho, Ilkay Gundogan, and Kevin De Bruyne to fill the void left by Rodri’s absence and maintain their high level of performance.

Despite the setback, City will be hoping for a successful recovery for Rodri and a swift return to action next season, as they aim to continue their dominance in English and European football.
