In a devastating blow to Manchester City, Rodri is expected to miss the remainder of the campaign.
According to reports, City's star midfield player tore his cruciate ligaments during Sunday's 2-2 home tie with Arsenal. For Pep Guardiola's team, Rodri famously played 74 games without losing.
This 475-day streak was snapped in May when the team lost to Manchester United in the FA Cup final. But on the weekend, during a thrilling Premier League encounter, he collapsed in agony, necessitating a lengthy stoppage. After a while, the 28-year-old anchorman was allowed to continue, but halfway through the first half, he was injured once more in an odd incident. Mateo Kovacic had to step in to replace Rodri this time. Initial tests on Monday, according to Spanish publication AS, suggest that their national player's injury is more serious than City had anticipated.
