Rodri could play in FA Cup final

Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola has revealed Rodri is recovering well and could feature in this season's FA Cup final.

Rodri's return could be key to Manchester City regaining dominance.

"Rodri is taking part in every training session with the team and is progressing very well, I can say that," Pep revealed to The Guardian . "But to be honest, I don't know exactly when he will be back. Rodri really wants to play as soon as possible."

"However, the doctors will decide. They will inform me when I can play him, even if it's just for a few minutes. I will follow their opinion. FA Cup final? Anything can happen," Pep emphasized.

Rodri ruptured his knee ligaments in the 2-2 draw with Arsenal in the Premier League earlier this season. Although he was initially expected to return to action in August, Rodri recovered earlier than expected. In March, Rodri began training with a coach. A month later, the Spanish midfielder was training with the Manchester City first team.

The Times said that initially the ideal time for Rodri to return was to play in the FIFA Club World Cup in June. However, a quick recovery could see Rodri return in the final stages of the Premier League this season. If Manchester City reach the FA Cup final, scheduled for May 17, Rodri could play, albeit from the bench.

Goals in the match Arsenal was held to a draw by Palace. Early morning of April 24, Arsenal was held to a 2-2 draw by Crystal Palace in round 34 of the Premier League.
