Manchester City Receive Major Boost as Rodri Returns to Individual Training After Lengthy Injury Layoff

Manchester City has received a significant boost with the return of midfielder Rodri to individual training, following his anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injury sustained in September during a 2-2 draw against Arsenal. 

The 28-year-old Spaniard, who underwent surgery shortly after the injury, was initially expected to be sidelined for the entire season. However, Rodri set an ambitious target for an early return, expressing his optimism in November about rejoining the squad before the season's conclusion. 

In a recent video shared on Manchester City's official Instagram account, Rodri is seen performing drills at the team's training facility, indicating positive progress in his rehabilitation. This development comes at a crucial time for the club, which has faced challenges in his absence, including a dip in Premier League standings and early exits from key competitions. 

Rodri's return to training not only boosts Manchester City's midfield options but also raises hopes for his participation in upcoming fixtures, including the FA Cup fifth-round tie against Plymouth Argyle. His resilience and commitment to recovery reflect his determination to contribute to the team's success in the latter stages of the season.
