Manchester City’s Rodri Out for Season with ACL Injury

A devastating blow to Manchester City’s title defense, midfielder Rodri will miss the rest of the season due to an anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) tear sustained in Sunday’s 2-2 draw against Arsenal.

Monday morning tests confirmed the injury to Rodri’s right knee, which occurred just 21 minutes into his first start of the season. The Spaniard was on the receiving end of robust tackles from Kai Havertz and Thomas Partey.

According to ESPN reports, Rodri is expected to undergo surgery in Barcelona. This injury marks the longest absence of his career, with Rodri having missed only eight matches previously for club and country.

The draw kept Manchester City atop the Premier League table with 13 points, despite dropping points for the first time this season. Arsenal remains unbeaten, sitting fourth with 11 points.

This significant loss will test Manchester City’s depth and resilience as they navigate the remainder of the season without their influential midfielder.
