Manchester City midfielder Rodri will not participate in the upcoming Premier League match against Sunderland. Head coach Pep Guardiola confirmed that although the player's condition is improving, he will not be risked yet.
Idman.Biz reports that the Spanish specialist said that Rodri is getting better when talking about his condition.
When asked if he would play in a possible match against Real Madrid, Guardiola replied: "You can ask me that in Madrid."
As a result of Rodri's long-term absence, changes have been made to Manchester City's game system. Mateo Kovacic has recently been used as an alternative in the defensive midfielder position.
It should be noted that Rodri suffered a severe knee ligament injury in early September 2024. The midfielder, who has played 415 minutes in just 8 games this season, has not yet fully recovered.
