Rodri - Soccer News, Rumors, & Updates

Serves UCL suspension Rodri is available to return after being ineligible for the last UCL league phase match against Galatasaray through suspension.

Impact Rodri should be a strong candidate to start for the rest of the season, having logged at least 45 minutes of play in each of his last four official games before the ban. The central man holds all-around value but might be involved mostly in passes and defensive stats in his defensive midfield role. Nico Gonzalez will see his playing time reduced, and Nico O'Reilly should return to the back line now that Rodri is eligible.

Sent off in UCL play Rodri was shown a red card in the 61st minute of Tuesday's match against Glimt.

Impact Rodri would receive a yellow card in the 60th minute of Tuesday's match and would let his anger get the best of him as he suffered yet another yellow card a minute late, leading to his exit. This will suspend the midfielder for their final league stage match, missing out against Galatasaray on Jan. 28 before returning for the knockout stage or round of 16. The good news is Bernardo Silva will be back from suspension, and Nico Gonzalez (undisclosed) could be fit by then, two options to replace Rodri.

Given his impact on the pitch, he could see an immediate start if ruled fit Saturday, however, it all depends on his matchday fitness.

Could return for new year Rodri (hamstring) could return against Nottingham Forest on Dec. 27 or Sunderland on Jan. 1st, coach Pep Guardiola said in the press conference. "We have five days, then for Nottin...

Impact Rodri has been progressing well in the return from his hamstring injury and could be set to come back next week or at the very beginning of the year. This is great news for the Citizens given the massive importance of the former Ballon d'Or in the system of coach Pep Guardiola. Having Rodri back to full fitness will bring equilibrium to the team and allow the frontline to play with more freedom. That said, until he reaches his full fitness back, Nico Gonzalez will continue to start in the heart of the game for Manchester City.

Impact Rodri is progressing well week by week in his rehabilitation of a hamstring injury but remains sidelined for the time being.

Impact Rodri is still not an option for Manchester City, but the former Ballon d'Or is getting better and closer to make his return from a hamstring injury. The timeline for that to happen remains uncertain, but he will likely see the pitch again before the end of the year. Until he makes the squad, Nico Gonzalez is the one expected to replace him in the midfield for the Citizens.

Impact Rodri is nearing a return from his hamstring injury that could happen in the upcoming fixtures. While he won't be available for Tuesday's clash against Fulham, the former Ballon d'Or contender could be an option for Saturday's clash against Sunderland if his condition evolves positively this week. That said, the medical staff will likely ease him back into the squad with limited minutes before letting him claim his undisputed starting role in the heart of the game. Until Rodri returns to full fitness, Nico Gonzalez is expected to remain the option to start in the midfield in his spot.
