Rodri’s return to the sky blue shirt has been eagerly anticipated by Manchester City supporters.
The 2024 Ballon d’Or was awarded to the Spaniard, who is considered one of the most talented players at the Manchester club. Regrettably, Rodri sustained a long-term knee injury during the season opener against Arsenal.
Man City’s 2024/25 campaign was significantly affected by this decision, as the 28-year-old’s absence rendered Pep Guardiola’s team unrecognisable, rendering them incapable of contending for the Premier League title.
Rodri’s return to the FA Cup final this weekend was anticipated by Man City. Guardiola has provided an update on the Spanish international prior to the team’s visit to Wembley.
Rodri is much improved, according to Pep Guardiola, in anticipation of the FA Cup final.
Rodri resumed training with Manchester City late last month; however, he has yet to appear for the Manchester club or be included in a matchday squad.
Before the FA Cup final on Saturday, Guardiola was asked during his press conference whether there was a possibility that the 28-year-old would be involved in some capacity against Crystal Palace.
Guardiola responded, “He is significantly superior.” “I am anticipating the physicians’ response.” During his surgery, they informed me that he would commence when he was prepared. We are hesitant to assume a risk and experience a setback.
In order for Rodri to regain his match-ready form for the FIFA Club World Cup this summer, Guardiola will need to take a gamble with him before the season concludes.
Guardiola also provided an update on the other City stars with recent injury concerns ahead of the FA Cup final, and it remains to be seen when Rodri will return.
