Guardiola confirms that Manchester City's Rodri is out for the season due to an anterior cruciate ligament injury – video | city of manchester
Rodri's season is “over” as a result of an anterior cruciate ligament injury suffered in Manchester City's 2-2 draw against Arsenal, Pep Guardiola has confirmed. The 28-year-old underwent surgery on his right knee on Friday morning, having had to be substituted early in the first half of Sunday's match after going down without any challenge, and will now begin his rehabilitation.
'(There was) some good surgery this morning for an ACL and some meniscus or something. Next season will be here. This season is over,” said Guardiola. “What he gives us, we don't have a similar player, but the other players together can replace what Rodri has given us since he arrived.” We have to do it as a team and we have to find the way to play for many months without an important player. Everyone knows it.
