Manchester City confirmed their worst fears as scans revealed that Rodri suffered a serious knee injury in the recent 2-2 draw against Arsenal, leaving coach Pep Guardiola to ponder a replacement.
Guardiola expressed the significance of Rodri's absence, saying, "When the team doesn't play with the best midfielder in the world, it is a big blow. Rodri is irreplaceable." The urgency for finding a solution is palpable.
In light of this setback, Guardiola acknowledged the necessity to adapt: "In football it happens and my duty is to find a solution to be competitive and continue to be a problem for our opponents."
Reports suggest Manchester City may turn their attention to Inter Milan's Hakan Calhanoglu, with Guardiola reportedly preparing a £50 million bid for the Turkish international, who is interested in the move.
