Man City get Rodri injury boost as 23 players train before FC Copenhagen in Champions League

Rodri was part of Manchester City training ahead of the Champions League clash with FC Copenhagen, but Kyle Walker was not.

Pep Guardiola had effectively ruled Walker out when giving a team news update earlier on Tuesday, but said Rodri would be assessed to see if he could train. And Rodri gave City a boost by being available for training, with just three first-team players missing from the session, including longer-term injury concerns John Stones and Kalvin Phillips.

Rodri suffered a calf problem the day before City faced Manchester United on Sunday, ruling him out of the derby, so his presence on Tuesday suggests that wasn't too serious, while Walker hobbled out of that game in the first half. Stones has a hamstring issue, while Phillips is recovering from shoulder surgery.
