Rodri and Manchester City
Tuesday
Manchester City confirmed Rodri underwent successful surgery to address back discomfort that had troubled him for some time. The Spain midfielder will now begin a short rehabilitation period, although the club has not set a date for his return.
Rodri could miss the Community Shield against Arsenal and remains a doubt for City’s Premier League opener against Bournemouth. The procedure adds to recent injury concerns while Real Madrid continue to be linked with the World Cup Golden Ball winner.
