Will Rodri rescue Manchester City?

The reigning Ballon d'Or winner will return for Manchester City's crucial match against Bournemouth on the morning of May 21st.

Rodri's return could salvage one of Man City's worst seasons under Pep Guardiola.

The Times reports that Rodri will be included in Manchester City's squad for their rescheduled Premier League match against Bournemouth in round 37. This is a crucial game for Pep Guardiola's team in their race for a Champions League spot.

Guardiola decided to include Rodri in the squad after the midfielder spent several weeks training normally and integrating with the rest of the team. While unlikely to start, he could still be used at certain points in the match.

Rodri tore his knee ligaments in the 2-2 draw against Arsenal in the Premier League earlier in the season. Although initially expected to return to action in August, Rodri recovered sooner than anticipated.

In March, Rodri began training with the coach. A month later, the Spanish midfielder trained with the Manchester City first team. Initially, the ideal time for Rodri to return to play in the FIFA Club World Cup in June was...

However, a rapid recovery could allow Rodri to return in the final stages of this Premier League season. Previously, Rodri's absence created a huge, irreplaceable void in Man City's midfield.

Since the Spanish midfielder suffered an injury, Guardiola's team has declined alarmingly, losing its stability and former strength. After the FA Cup final defeat, competing for a Champions League spot next season is Man City's most important goal for the remainder of the season. They need a win against Bournemouth to determine their own fate before matchday 38.

Eze's goal sinks Man City. In the early hours of May 18th, Man City lost 0-1 to Crystal Palace in the FA Cup final at Wembley Stadium.
