Spanish International Rodri will probably miss the remainder of the season with an ACL injury. Tests on Monday morning showed that there could be an anterior cruciate ligament tear in his right knee in Sunday’s draw with Arsenal. According to ESPN, the Manchester City player will have more tests, but all signs point to an ACL tear. He is most likely going to have surgery in Barcelona.
Rodri To Miss Rest Of Season With ACL Injury
Rodri was taken off in the 21st minute of Sunday’s thrilling match against Arsenal after he fell down holding his knee. This was only Rodri’s first start in the 2024-2025 Premier League campaign. Man City played a 2-2 draw against Arsenal thanks to a very late goal from John Stones. This result saw that Man City remains top of the Premier League table. Rodri said last week in an interview that players are “close” to going on strike because they are worried about their growing workload. Rodri was asked if the busy schedule could cause players to go on strike. He said:
I think we are close to that, it is easy to understand. I think it’s something general. I think if you ask any player he will say the same, it is not the opinion of Rodri or whatever. I think it’s the general opinion of the players. And if it keeps this way, there will be a moment where we have no other option, I really think, but let’s see. I don’t know what’s going to happen, but it’s something that worries us because we are the guys that suffer.
Rodri is one of the top contenders to win the prestigious Ballon d’Or. The news of his injury is a significant setback for Man City as they pursue their fifth consecutive Premier League title. Rival clubs like Arsenal, Liverpool, Manchester United, and Tottenham will definitely be fascinated by this news.
