Serious injury
After saying “I’m on strike”: City pro faces the end of the season
According to media reports, English champions Manchester City will be without midfielder Rodri for the long term.
The Spanish international was substituted after around 20 minutes in the top match against Arsenal (2:2) on Sunday and limped off the pitch with an injury. The 28-year-old had only just made his comeback from injury.
According to ESPN, Rodri tore the anterior cruciate ligament in his right knee and will be out for the rest of the season. "The Athletic reported on Monday that Rodri had suffered a serious knee injury during the draw. The examinations are still ongoing. It is therefore not certain how long he will be out for. The Spanish international will miss Man City for a longer period of time, however.
Recently complained about schedule
Rodri, of all people, recently complained about the heavy workload for professional footballers due to the packed schedule - and also spoke openly about a possible strike. "In my humble opinion, it's too much. I think we have to look after ourselves," he warned. "Someone has to look out for us because we are the main players in this sport or business or whatever you want to call it."
