The newspaper “Marca” indicated that the initial tests that Rodri underwent proved that he had a cruciate ligament rupture.
Rodri suffered a severe sprain in his knee during the Arsenal match, as a result of which he left a few minutes after the start of the match, which ended in a 2-2 draw.
The newspaper “Metro” published on Monday morning that there is a state of optimism within City that Rodri’s injury is not bad and he will not be away from the stadiums for long.
However, the newspaper “Marca” and other Spanish newspapers confirmed that Rodri’s injury diagnosis is a cruciate ligament rupture, and he will not return to the stadiums for 8 months.
This means that the Spanish international will not play any other match with City this season, in a major blow to Pep Guardiola’s squad.
It is expected that Manchester City will confirm the news in an official statement within the next few hours.
It is noteworthy that Rodri has only played 3 matches with City this season after he joined training late due to his participation with the Spanish national team in Euro 2024.
