Manchester City’s star midfielder, Rodri, has reportedly been ruled out for the remainder of the season after suffering a torn cruciate ligament in his right knee during the team’s 2-2 draw against Arsenal.
Rodri’s Injury During Arsenal Clash
According to reports from MARCA, the Spanish midfielder sustained the serious injury in Sunday’s game at the Etihad Stadium. The 28-year-old went down in pain after a clash with Arsenal’s Thomas Partey inside his own penalty area, just 16 minutes into the match.
Diagnosis and Recovery Plans
Rodri, visibly emotional as he limped off the pitch, is currently traveling to Madrid for further medical examinations to confirm the severity of the injury. The midfielder is expected to consult with specialists before deciding on surgery.
His absence is a significant blow for Manchester City, as Rodri has played a crucial role in their recent successes, including their last four Premier League titles.
