Rodri faced a significant setback during Manchester City’s Premier League clash against Arsenal when he suffered a serious knee injury. 
The incident took place in the 21st minute of the match, with City holding a 1-0 lead.
Rodri was engaged in a physical tussle with Arsenal’s Thomas Partey while positioning himself for a corner kick when his left knee appeared to buckle, leading to immediate concern.
Since his arrival from Atletico Madrid in 2019, Rodri has been a pivotal figure for Manchester City. His injury forced an early substitution, with Mateo Kovacic replacing him. This change was a considerable blow to City, as Rodri has consistently delivered top performances and has had a strong record of avoiding injuries in recent seasons.
Manchester City struggled to maintain their momentum after Rodri’s exit. Just two minutes after his substitution, Arsenal’s Riccardo Calafiori scored an equalizer, intensifying the competition in this crucial Premier League encounter.
Pep Guardiola, Manchester City's manager, expressed his concern over the severity of Rodri’s injury. Although the midfielder was able to walk off the pitch, the full extent of the injury will be determined after further medical evaluations.
Rodri’s injury adds to the mounting challenges for Manchester City as they strive to defend their Premier League title. His importance to the team is undeniable, and both fans and teammates are eager for the Spanish international’s swift recovery, hoping his presence on the field will soon be restored.
