Manchester City’s midfield engine Rodri could be sidelined for months after a serious knee injury – and manager Pep Guardiola isn’t sugarcoating the blow. 😓
The Spanish playmaker, 27, collapsed during Sunday’s clash with Arsenal after minimal contact, with scans revealing a potential anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) tear. He’s now flown to Barcelona for specialized tests. 🩺✈️
\"He’ll be out for a long time,\" Guardiola said at a press conference Tuesday, adding that final decisions on surgery are pending. \"We’re still waiting… but prepare for the worst.\" 💔
Rodri has been irreplaceable for City since his 2019 move from Atlético Madrid, anchoring their historic Premier League and Champions League triumphs. His absence leaves a gaping hole ahead of crucial fixtures. ⚡️ Will this shake City’s title hopes? Fans are holding their breath. 🏆
