In a major blow to Manchester City’s season, star midfielder Rodri has been ruled out for the remainder of the campaign after suffering a serious knee injury during Sunday’s match against Arsenal.
As reported by ESPN UK, Rodri tore the anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) in his right knee during the game.
Medical examinations conducted on Monday morning confirmed the extent of the injury.
According to an ESPN source, “Manchester City midfielder Rodri will miss the rest of the season after tests confirmed he sustained an ACL tear in his right knee during Sunday’s draw with Arsenal.”
The Spanish international has been a crucial part of Pep Guardiola’s squad, and his absence will be a significant blow as the team continues to battle in multiple competitions.
This injury comes at a pivotal time in the season, potentially impacting City’s ambitions in both domestic and European competitions.
