Manchester City midfielder Rodri is facing a period on the sidelines after sustaining ligament damage in his right knee. The club confirmed the injury without specifying a timeline for his potential return. The Spain international, who is a strong contender for this year's Ballon d'Or award, was forced off the pitch in the early stages of City's recent 2-2 draw against Arsenal in the Premier League.
Rodri sought specialist consultation in Spain following the match, where it was determined that he had suffered a ligament injury. City is currently assessing the extent of the damage and the expected recovery period. Manager Pep Guardiola indicated that Rodri could be out for an extended period, although there are differing opinions on the severity of the injury.
