In a major blow to Manchester City, star midfielder Rodri may miss the remainder of the season after reportedly suffering a torn cruciate ligament during Sunday’s 2-2 draw against Arsenal.
The Spanish international collapsed in visible pain eight seconds into the match, causing immediate concern for the Premier League champions.
Despite trying to continue, Rodri was substituted midway through the first half, with Mateo Kovacic stepping in to replace him.
According to reports from Spanish outlet AS, Monday’s medical evaluations have cast a more worrying outlook than initially thought.
The tests revealed that Rodri’s injury is serious, with torn ligaments likely sidelining him for the rest of the campaign.
Rodri, a crucial player for both club and country, helped Spain secure the Euro 2024 title this summer, but now faces a long road to recovery.
Manchester City will have to navigate the remainder of the season without their midfield anchor, significantly impacting their title defense hopes.
