Man City’s Rodri out for season with ACL injury

Manchester City’s midfielder Rodri has been ruled out for the rest of the season after sustaining an ACL injury during a training session.

The 25-year-old Spanish international has been a key player for City this season, contributing with his impressive passing range and defensive abilities.

Rodri’s absence will be a huge blow for Man City as they enter the business end of the season, with crucial matches in the Premier League and Champions League coming up.

The injury comes at a bad time for City, who are looking to secure their fourth consecutive Premier League title and make a deep run in the Champions League.

City manager Pep Guardiola expressed his disappointment at losing Rodri for the rest of the season, praising the midfielder’s contribution to the team.

Guardiola will now have to reshuffle his midfield options and come up with a plan to cope with Rodri’s absence in the crucial matches ahead.

Rodri will undergo surgery to repair the ACL injury and is expected to be out of action for several months, ruling him out of the Euros this summer.

The injury is a major setback for Rodri, who has established himself as one of the best midfielders in the Premier League since joining City in 2019.

City will now have to rely on other midfielders like Kevin De Bruyne and Ilkay Gundogan to step up and fill the void left by Rodri’s absence.

Despite the setback, City will be determined to overcome this hurdle and continue their pursuit of success in both the domestic and European competitions.
