Guido Rodriguez - Soccer News, Rumors, & Updates

Available for Alaves clash Rodriguez (quadriceps) is an option for Tuesday's clash against Alaves, according to interim coach Oscar Sanchez.

Impact Rodriguez had recently trained partially as he continued recovering from a quadriceps issue that had already cost him matches against Deportivo, Barcelona and Sevilla, with previous coach Carlos Corberan previously saying Rodriguez wanted to play but had not received the green light. His return to availability now confirms his recovery is complete, giving Valencia back a key midfield option.

Trains partially, remains doubtful Friday Rodriguez (quadriceps) trained partially with the team Thursday and remains a doubt for Friday's clash against Sevilla, according to Radio Esport Valencia.

Impact Rodriguez had been expected to be out for around three weeks with the muscular problem suffered early this season, an absence that already cost him matches against Deportivo and Barcelona. His partial return to training now marks progress, though his status for Sevilla remains uncertain, with coach Carlos Corberan continuing to weigh tactical adjustments like using Pepelu in a deeper role.

Out around three weeks Rodriguez (undisclosed) will be out for around three weeks due to a muscular problem suffered early this season, according to Tribuna VCF.

Impact Rodriguez will miss Sunday's match at Deportivo, along with the following match against Barcelona at Mestalla, and his availability for the subsequent trip to Sevilla is also in doubt, with a potential return targeted for the matches against Alaves or Real Sociedad before the next international break. His absence forces coach Carlos Corberan to consider tactical adjustments, having tested a back four with Pepelu dropping into a pivot role in training rather than relying on Mouctar Diakhaby as a direct alternative, adding further difficulty to a start to the season that has already yielded just one point from Valencia's first two matches at Mestalla.

Rodriguez arrives with an extensive career spanning more than 400 appearances at the elite level for West Ham, Real Betis, Club America, Tijuana, River Plate and Defensa y Justicia, as well as winning the 2022 World Cup and two Copa America titles with Argentina.

His role with Valencia is not set to increase immediately upon his arrival, likely for a rotational role, but not confirmed for anything more than that.

JANUARY 26 • ROTOWIRE

Returns in Carabao Cup Rodriguez got the start and played 85 minutes during Tuesday's match against Wolves in the Carabao Cup.

Impact Rodriguez started the Premier League opener, a disappointing 3-0 defeat to Sunderland and then was left unused in a 5-1 trouncing by Chelsea. The defensive midfielder returned to the starting XI in the Carabao Cup, but was subbed off with West Ham chasing the match yet again. Rodriguez figures to take on more minutes with the departure of Edson Alvarez, but he hasn't been very effective in holding midfield, and the entire West Ham team seems due for a shake up.

Impact Rodriguez is heading to London following the end of his time at Betis after his contract expired, having landed with West Ham out of free agency this offseason. In the past campaign, he was solid, starting in 22 of his 24 appearances while notching two goals on 18 shots to go along with 29 interceptions, 39 clearances and 53 tackles. He sees most of his contribution in the defensive part of the field, as he is a decent-holding midfielder. He will likely see a similar role with West Ham as he did with Betis last season, receiving decent time but not being an everyday starter.

Not on bench Sunday Rodriguez (undisclosed) is out for Sunday's game against Real Sociedad.

Impact It's not surprising to see Rodriguez being out for this game, as he departed Thursday's contest against Las Palmas with a first-half injury and didn't have time to recover on a quick turnaround. It remains to be seen if he'll be able to face Real Madrid in the season finale, and in the meantime, expect Johnny Cardoso and William Carvalho to replace him in midfield.

MAY 19, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Departs with injury Thursday Rodriguez left Thursday's match against Las Palmas with an undisclosed injury in the first half.

Impact A full diagnosis will likely be provided post-game, but it must've been a serious injury to force Rodriguez to leave the game less than 20 minutes into the contest. Johnny Cardoso replaced him, and he should be in line for a bigger role in midfield in case Rodriguez can't recover in time to face Real Sociedad on Sunday.

Finds back of net in defeat Rodriguez scored one goal to go with one shot (one on goal) in Sunday's 3-2 loss against Villarreal.

Impact Rodriguez couldn't have wished for a better performance in his first start in more than three months, but at the same time, Betis couldn't hold on to their lead and ended up losing the contest. Rodriguez should remain in the XI as long as he remains healthy, but he's not expected to be a major factor in attacking sequences going forward, particularly if he ends up playing in midfield alongside a more offensive-minded player such as Marc Roca.

FEBRUARY 8, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Impact The defensive midfielder suffered the injury in training, and further exams confirmed the worst prognosis, as the Argentina international will be out for an extended period of time.
