The Spanish midfielder returned to training on May 1, bringing positive signals to Man City fans. However, coach Pep Guardiola is still cautious and is not in a hurry to use his favorite student.

He awaits approval from the medical team to name Rodri in the squad for the FA Cup final against Crystal Palace on May 17.

"Rodri really wants to play in the final," Guardiola said. "He's training with us and is progressing well. The doctors will make the final decision on whether I can play him or not. I trust them."

Previously, Rodri's absence created a huge void that could not be filled in Man City's midfield. Since the Spanish midfielder was injured, Guardiola's team has declined alarmingly, losing its stability and inherent strength.

As a result, Man City was eliminated from the Premier League championship race, stopped at the League Cup and continued to suffer bitter defeat against Real Madrid in the Champions League.

Rodri and Erling Haaland are both back in training.

In the current context, Man City's top goal is to win a place in the top 5 of the Premier League and win the FA Cup.

Rodri’s desire to return to the pitch is unquestionable. After a long period on the sidelines due to injury, the Spanish midfielder is eager to contribute to the team’s goal.

He has always played an important role on the pitch and in the dressing room. Rodri helps support his teammates and acts as a valuable assistant to coach Guardiola.

In the early morning of May 3, Man City won 1-0 against Wolves in round 35 of the Premier League thanks to a goal by Kevin de Bruyne. This result helped coach Guardiola and his team rise to 3rd place in the rankings with 64 points.
