Manchester City’s title ambitions have been dealt a significant setback after midfielder Rodri suffered a severe knee injury, ruling him out for the remainder of the season.
The Spain international tore the anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) in his right knee during Sunday’s 2-2 draw against Arsenal, according to medical examinations conducted on Monday.
Injury Blow
Rodri’s absence will be deeply felt, given his crucial role in Pep Guardiola’s squad. The 27-year-old has been an ever-present figure in City’s midfield, making 32 appearances this season.
Implications
The injury comes at a critical juncture in the season, potentially impacting City’s hopes in the Premier League and Champions League. Guardiola’s side faces a challenging run of fixtures, and Rodri’s absence will test the team’s depth.
