Earlier this week, it was confirmed that Rodri had suffered a serious knee injury during Manchester City's match against Arsenal last weekend. The Spanish midfielder is expected to miss the rest of this season, and chances are he won't even play for La Roja if they reach the 2024-25 UEFA Nations League final.
Rodri traveled to Spain to undergo medical tests after suffering the injury, and will return to his homeland next week for knee surgery. Ace for Reliefthe plan is for the 28-year-old to undergo surgery in Madrid on Wednesday.
Dr. Manuel Leyes will perform the surgery, and was hand-picked by Rodri – Man City have been notified, and they accept the wishes of the player.
Rodri's absence is a massive blow for Man City, who have started the Premier League season in good form. It is also very bad news for Spaineven if they have a ready-made substitute in Martin Zubimendi.
