Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola revealed that his star midfielder Rodri admitted that he was in too much pain to play against Burnley on Saturday afternoon after aggravating his long-term knee injury.
The Spanish pacesetter at the base of midfield missed the vast majority of last season with a torn ACL. Guardiola has been at pains to gradually reintegrate the returning talisman, who has endured a stop-start opening to the new campaign. Heading into this weekend’s fixture, he had to listen to his body.
