Rodri (Manchester City)
August 2025
Pep Guardiola confirmed Rodri has suffered a new setback at the Club World Cup after returning from an ACL injury, delaying his full recovery until September. City struggled last season without Rodri, finishing third and trophyless. His absence at the start of the new campaign poses another major challenge for Guardiola’s side.

Ballon d’Or winner Rodri made his long-awaited return from ACL and meniscus surgery, coming on in the 83rd minute during Man City’s match against Bournemouth. It was his first appearance since being injured against Arsenal in September.
Rodri received a standing ovation at the Etihad Stadium and replaced Erling Haaland late in the match. His recovery means he will likely be fit for the Club World Cup in the U.S. next month.

Real Madrid are monitoring Rodri despite his ACL injury, hoping to tempt him away from Manchester City before his contract ends in 2027.
Rodri, currently sidelined since September, is reportedly happy at City and not planning a move, making Madrid’s approach unlikely to succeed.
