Shock for Man City

Man City have injury problems again.

Rodri is in the squad for the US tournament, having recovered from an anterior cruciate ligament injury that will see him miss the majority of the 2024/25 season. Rodri came off the bench in Man City's group stage matches.

Against Al-Hilal, the 29-year-old midfielder came on as a substitute in the 53rd minute, but had to leave the field in the 100th minute. Guardiola did not explain in detail, but he revealed that the substitution was because Rodri was not in the best physical condition.

"Rodri complained about his injury," Guardiola said briefly. This is a shock for "The Citizens" as they prepare to enter the preparation process for the new season.

10 months ago, Rodri was injured in a match against Arsenal, leading to a series of dark days for Man City. In the months without Rodri, Man City struggled, dropped points and gradually lost their invincible image.

Man City appreciate Rodri's influence and see him as a pillar that will be difficult to replace in the future. According to Goal , coach Guardiola fears that Rodri will not be in the best shape when the 2025/26 season starts.

The Spanish midfielder and his teammates will have time off after Man City were eliminated from the FIFA Club World Cup 2025™. The Etihad Stadium side will kick off their 2025/26 Premier League campaign on 16 August away to Wolves.
