Rodri does not believe John Stones' precautionary substitution at Brighton will give Manchester City another injury concern, despite the champions' mounting list of absentees.
City travelled to Brighton without Aymeric Laporte, Ruben Dias, Nathan Ake, Manu Akanji and Jack Grealish as they were not fully fit after the Premier League title was confirmed last weekend, before Phil Foden was substituted after a knock early in the second half. Defender Stones followed soon after appearing to pick up a knock of his own, and Pep Guardiola confirmed both had injury concerns.
On Foden, Guardiola said: "The doctor told me it was dangerous and we didn't take a risk. Phil was exceptional in the first half before that. John felt tight, he didn’t have anything, we didn’t want to take a risk, so hopefully he can recover as soon as possible."
