The Rodri injury was the major talking point after Manchester City and Arsenal played out a thrilling 2-2 draw at the Etihad on gameweek 5.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

A last-gasp John Stones equaliser ensured the spoils were shared on a frantic afternoon of Premier League action. Erling Haaland had given City the lead before Riccardo Calafiori<\/a> and Gabriel hit back for the Gunners.<\/p>\n

However, the Cityzens have now confirmed that their Spanish superstar suffered a knee ligament injury. The Ballon d’Or contender is expected to be ruled out for a considerable amount of time.<\/p>\n

Now, boss Pep Guardiola is faced with the dilemma of trying to replace his midfield fulcrum. There are certainly some strong candidates but fully replacing someone of Rodri’s talents is no easy feat.<\/p>\n

It is no secret that the champions do suffer without the 28-year-old in their starting XI. The Rodri stats<\/a> themselves are quite extraordinary. But the options available do offer encouragement.<\/p>\n

We can confirm that Rodri has suffered a ligament injury to his right knee.<\/p>\n

Everyone at the Club wishes him a speedy recovery \ud83e\ude75<\/p>\n
