Pep Guardiola has expressed optimism about Ballon d'Or winner Rodri potentially returning to action this season after his long-term knee injury. Training footage has generated excitement among fans as Manchester City struggles in the Premier League standings. While officials are careful about timelines, Guardiola indicated that, although Rodri is not very close to a full return, there is a possibility he could play before the season ends. Furthermore, Nathan Ake faces ongoing injury challenges, compounded by issues affecting other defenders in the squad.
"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."
