Rodri will miss the beginning of the new Premier League season due to a significant injury sustained during the Club World Cup. Specifically, he picked up a groin injury in a match against Al Hilal that the team lost. This injury comes after he had previously been out for eight months due to a ruptured anterior cruciate ligament. Manager Pep Guardiola is hopeful for Rodri's recovery after the international break before the first three league games but emphasizes the importance of avoiding further injury.
Rodri only made his return to competitive action in May after eight months out of action due to a ruptured anterior cruciate ligament.
Guardiola stated, "Rodri is getting better, but he had a big injury in the last game against Al Hilal."
What is important is that he doesn't have pain because we don't want Rodri coming back injured.
City, who finished third last season, begin their Premier League campaign away against Wolverhampton Wanderers on August 16.
