Manchester City midfielder Rodri has encountered a significant setback, as medical tests have confirmed a tear of the anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) in his right knee.
The injury occurred during the team's 2-2 draw with Arsenal on Sunday, following a collision with Arsenal's Thomas Partey in the 15th minute, which caused Rodri to land awkwardly.
He was promptly substituted, with Mateo Kovacic taking his place on the field. This injury represents a substantial blow to Manchester City's title aspirations, as Rodri plays a crucial role in Pep Guardiola's tactics. He is expected to miss the remainder of the season and will undergo surgery in Barcelona.
