Pep Guardiola has indicated that Rodri could return from his long-term ACL injury before the season ends, despite earlier assessments stating a longer recovery. Rodri has always aimed for a comeback in the July Club World Cup. His recent return to individual training marks progress, although Guardiola emphasized caution in the recovery process to avoid making premature decisions. Injuries have affected City throughout the season, with Nathan Ake also facing extended absence.
"It's been five months or six months. But [it's] one step at a time. We don't have to make stupid decisions [for him] to come weeks earlier."
"The fans must know they are not the only ones who are excited. [...] He's not close to coming back, but he's touching the ball and is in the locker room."
