Manchester City midfielder Rodri is confident the international break will give him ample time to recover from the hamstring injury which brought his appearance in Sunday’s win over Brentford to an abrupt end.
Manager Pep Guardiola has spoken openly about his concerns over Rodri’s long-term fitness. The 2024 Ballon d’Or winner is just 12 months out from an ACL injury which limited him to just three Premier League appearances last year and has already played more minutes this year than he did across the entirety of the 2024–25 campaign.
